Belmont   15 Aug 2018
 
GOING: S

Tabtouch (Rs0ly) 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Showers Late   Rail: Out 12m. (Pent: 6.6).  

Chinetti and Akiko can make the speed. Not a great deal of speed but Akiko should take up the running. GENERAL HUSSON has been runner up at four of last five starts. Apprentice rider has placed at all three starts aboard and should go close again. NIGHT VOYAGE hit the line hard when the race was over to finish a close up fourth. Drawn for a soft run and should be closing fast. BOMBS AWAY ran on well fresh and from a good draw can sneak into the finish. MISS SONDRIO looks next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to General Husson.
