RACE FIVE
This looks a great little race made intriguing with TALENT TO SPARE (8) drawing off the 2nd line. Returning from a let-up last start, she was sent straight to the front from gate 2 and kept the power on throughout in a slick new PB mile of 1.53.1. Doing plenty of work the start prior when 2nd, her 4 wins have come when leading, can she add a chasing win to the tally.
LAST PLACE LUCY (1) will take further experience from her latest appearance when having just her 3rd race outing and 2nd since returning from a spell. Holding the pocket trail last start, she was best of the chasers behind her high-powered stablemate BIG WHEELS. With gate 1 again, she can be looking to offer.
SCOTCH EN ICE (4) was setting the tempo here on Friday and led every stride bar when the judge called a halt to be beaten a lip. Lighting the lamps from gate 1 here 2 starts back, he opened them up in a 27.6 1st panel and then controlled it thereafter to score a 5m victory. He can be right in the fight.
GINGER MICKY (7) will take good benefit from his return to the track last week when 1st up since July. Starting fav from gate 6 over the 2138m, he was strong to the line to grab the bronze and can chime in again.
