GOING: G(4)

TABTOUCH PLACE A SAME RACE MULTI HANDICAP 1230m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 2m Entire.  

Small field but Star In Time, Sir Snugalot and Prince Ragnar can ensure a genuine tempo. MORGS FREEMAN (1) sat back and rattled home to just miss over 1100m here last time out and that holds him in good stead as he steps out to this trip. He was a comfortable winner here just four starts back and he now gets Chris Parnham in the saddle. Looks ready to return to the winners stall. PRINCE RAGNAR (3) was 50-1 at Ascot last time out and ran below his best, beaten 3.7L. A lot of his form is over the shorter course, but he maps for an easy run and Cooper taking 3kg off helps. Can find the front and take plenty of catching. STAR IN TIME (6) gets the visors on first time after a narrow defeat over 1500m last time out. Back to this trip is no issue having performed well here previously. Drawn to get every chance and is sure to put her best foot forward. LONG KNIFE BROTHER (5) can mix his form but he was very close here just two starts back. Include. SIR SNUGALOT (2) will benefit from the first-up effort and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Morgs Freeman in the opener.
