GOING: S(5)

HORNBY CLUB FOUNDERS CUP 2600m

Track: SOFT 5     Out 5m  

The race pace here will be nothing too taxing overall this being a 2600m event. SACRED DREAM (4) has been placed at 2600m so no stamina concerns at all. Ace gate and she looks the winner on dry or wet ground here. Looks a 4yo stayer with a lot more to come too. TOMYTURBO (3) is racing super of late. No stamina issues either. Top tier must here no matter the footing although he would prefer wet ground. STAR BALLOT (1) is a trifecta and first four must here. Has won on dry and wet. Stamina proven. Ticks boxes galore and can handle the rise to 60kg. MY DEGREE (7) is a class riser here. Course proven. She has won on dry and wet footing. ASTRADEEL (2) is a place and first four chance here at best. Wet tracker. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sacred Dream is a win wager. Box the quinella as a saver of her, Tomyturbo and Star Ballot.
