GOING: G(4)

THANK YOU TO ALL STAFF FOR A JOB WELL DONE HANDICAP 1220m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 6m Entire.  

Savage One and Arabian Riches to apply plenty of early pressure over the sprint journey. GALAXY AFFAIR (3) was outgraded at Ascot before leading and winning easily here this grade over 1400m. Peaks now and rates to go back-to-back. SAVAGE ONE (1) resumes for a leading yard with a handy 2kg claim. Disappointed his only run last preparation but the city form prior stacks right up. Owns a Lark Hill trial win suggesting he's back on track. Go well. The veteran ARABIAN RICHES (4) races forward and has been around the mark without winning. Is better suited back to this trip and his best would give him a chance. BOMBAY STYLE (2) was cruelled by the wide gate last time but the form prior stacks up. In the mix kept on the fresh side. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Galaxy Affair.
