---|---|---|---|---|
Dortmund, Smooth Tycoon and Caprera all press forward here. DORTMUND should be rolling out the race plan from the front and has a hoof on the till with three runner up efforts in as many starts coming into this. Up slightly in trip now and this looks no tougher than latest. Right in this. EIGHT OVER was well back in the field in his two runs last campaign in what look pretty strong races now. Two trials of late have been more than acceptable and despite a wide draw must be kept safe resuming in provincial grade. NOBLE DRAGON has been midfield in two honest efforts leading into this including a solid provincial run last start. Drawn fairly and third up could easily play a role. Clevanicc is an improving type and the stable knows when they are ready for a class rise. Worth including. notch here but is in the capable hands of Kris Lees. Big watch on SHADEEN for the Snowdens. This 2.2M Snitzel Colt is a half to Sizzling. Debuts here with the Blinkers on and from the inside draw can easily figure. Follow moving forward. SUGGESTED PLAY: Looks Dortmund's race.
