GOING: H(10)

LADBROKES MATES MODE POTS QUALITY Handicap 1350m

Track: HVY10   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.98)  

A solid tempo on the cards with Devastate heading them off. Open contest to close out the card. The well-related WARBY (9) (half to G1 winner and stallion Captivant) returned to the winners' stall last time out and is yet to miss a drum in four attempts over this course and distance. Will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell and finds the right race to make it two on the bounce. DEVASTATE (11) saves his best form for this journey and has been right there in recent efforts without winning. Can get a well-deserved victory. CIFRADO (1) didn't handle the Heavy 10 when resuming but is much better than that and has a class edge over most of these. Can bounce right back. SET TO SHINE (12) doesn't know how to run a bad race and is a must for the exotics players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 9,11,1,12.
