GOING: S(5)

MARSH RACING-GOOD LUCK "EV" 2400m

Track: SOFT 5     Out 3m  

Not much early pressure but King Of The North, Gentian Blue and Joyola can take up forward spots. KING OF THE NORTH (1) he has been racing well for ages. Proven on dry and wet ground. One to beat here without any doubt. HASSTOBEPERFECT (5) the mare has been course placed before. She has won on dry and wet ground too. Top tier must in this suitable small field. CELTIC ECHO (4) she has been racing well of late. Course placed at her last start. She can stay all day too. ZACKERY (2) is a multiple class dropper in this. Has won on dry and wet ground like a few in this. Include everywhere. RAINBOW DELIGHT (3) is live on a hattrick in this. Wet tracker. Leader so he can control matters here. Will give a sight in this undoubtedly. SUGGESTED PLAY: King Of The North and Hasstobeperfect are win wagers.
