5:50am - BILL WATERHOUSE HANDICAP | 1100m | | i

Some very solid and reliable sprinters in this 1100m BM88. There should be plenty of tempo too, ROYAL WITNESS speeding forward with EMBRACER and INVICTUS SALUTE for company (tempo: STRONG to FAIR). Both EMBRACER and INVICTUS SALUTE bring strong form-lines into this and will be hard to beat, INVICTUS SALUTE preferred in the wet given EMBRACER has failed in the mud before. CONNEMARA trialled in amongst them last start and rates right in the mix here too first-up from a nice midfield spot. Hard to knock LABURNUM (if inside ground OK), RIVER BIRD (if outside ground OK, likes wet) and TONSOR at odds too. BROKEN ARROWS a place chance from the back. [updated 9:12am]
