---|---|---|---|---|
Lennic is the likely leader at a slick tempo. Tony Gollan holds the key, headed by INSTAGOOD (12) who was five-weeks between runs when a fast-finishing third over this course and distance in a Class 3 a fortnight ago. Will improve on that run and off the back of a strong tempo she will be hard to hold out. Stablemate CERTAINLYCAN (13) went to the front in new tactics last time out and kept going to easily account for her Class 1 rivals over this distance at Ipswich. Meets a better field here but her figure in that win suggests she is up to this. Angela Jones is a key booking. Another Gollan runner in DEER TRAIL (8) failed to threaten when returning from a fourteen-month lay-off here at this trip a fortnight ago. Best form makes him competitive so he deserves another chance. Lightly raced four-year-old THANKYOU HENRY (5) opens his third campaign in a suitable race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Instagood to win.
