GOING: G

Happy 40th Birthday Andy Adams Handicap 1050m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: +6m Entire, Sectional 608m. (Pent: 5.39)  

Refreshing and Alpha Flight can be prominent. Tricky race with several winning chances that bring different form. MISLUDI (15) was very good first-up and can improve into this. She's lightly raced and might be able to go to a new level this campaign. She will need a good ride from Johnstone but she can win. VINTAGE STAR (1) is another that is second-up and another that will definitely improve after a solid first-up run. Barrier two looks a positive and she can get the run of the race. Happy to forgive the last start flop of MINE ALL MINE (10) and take on some of his better form, which gives him a place chance here. STREETCAR FURY (3) has obvious ability but has been a bit costly for punters. He won well last start and might go on with it so he must be included. Don't dismiss ROUND TWO (6) who is progressive and possibly destined for better things. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Misludi each-way.
