GOING: S

THE MACTAGGART FAMILY GRATITUDE STAKES 2100m

Track: SOFT     Out 4m  

The race pace in this two-turn event over 2100m looks modest in the main but they may wind it up speed wise well before the home turn. SUNSET BOULEVARD (3) produced a good run fresh up here to place. Distance proven. Win chance in this field for sure and will be heavily backed too. SHE'S SO RELIABLE (5) is a course proven local. She is always a quinella and trifecta chance here at home. Has won on dry and wet ground. JUST CHARLIE (2) has been course placed before. Wide draw. He handles it dry and wet as well. Include him still everywhere in your combinations. AFTER PARTY (9) was a form reversal winner at her last start. Not out of this for a place or the first four. FAY KHAN IT (8) has been course-placed and is a local. Same yard as the second pick. Wet tracker. Well drawn. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sunset Boulevard is a win wager.
