GOING: H(10)

STELLA ARTOIS 2100m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 4m  

Denver is likely to roll to the lead and set a decent tempo. DENVER (1) he has run good seconds in his last two runs. Drawn to win this without any doubt whatsoever. DANCIN IN THE DARK (2) he is racing better than it seems and for a while now. Eachway here. Riding change is a big tick for bettors too. SNEAK PEEK (12) showed good improvement at her last start. Can pay a dividend here well drawn. Stable is absolutely flying. NAVY ICON (7) he is racing well enough this time in. Stable cannot be omitted from any of your combinations at the moment. Trifecta and first four chance. SIX FLAGS (8) he ran well at his first two starts. Flopped last time inexplicably. Give another chance here and include in all of your first fours. SUGGESTED PLAY: Denver and Dancin In The Dark are win wagers.
