GOING: S(7)

AGRAFORUM GROWING INNOVATION 1600m

Track: SOFT 6     Out 5.5m from the 1400m to 400m, Then cutaway from 400 to finish at 3m  

Solid tempo anticipated with In Awe heading them off. ROYAL VALOUR (8) is a class dropper here. Triple track winner already. Can claim down to 54.5kg in this. Win chance here without any doubt. SAUVAGE (1) is a course-proven runner. Wide draw in this. His best would make him a top tier chance here for certain. IN AWE (2) was a trial fourth last month so ready to resume. All his wins have come at the Mile. Chance in this. CHAPINTEEL (6) has figured in the placings when fresh up in the past. Trial third last month. Not out of this at all and the price will be intriguing. ON FILE (4) is better drawn this time. Last time he drew gate four he was a winner. Cannot be left out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Royal Valour is a win wager.
