GOING:

CAMBRIDGE EQUINE HOSPITAL 1550m

Track: AW     True  

Without an obvious leader, it may be left to The Exponent, Ezellohar and Side Eye to control the tempo. EIGHT LUCKY PRAWNS (4) will be peaking third up from a spell, and did not have much luck as favourite here 6 weeks ago, when beaten by the wide gate. He gets a big swing in his draw this time, and he will be hard to hold out. Follow your money. SIDE EYE (3) has not had much luck recently and was baulked for room here last week. He is ready to win again at short notice. THE EXPONENT (2) dropped in class and was straight back into winning form, scoring by over a length. An extra 250m is no problem, and if he can cope with the weight rise, then he can win again. ALIENA (9) has yet to put it all together, but will be improving with the experience. She is not the worst at odds in this sort of field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Side Eye can offer some nice each-way value.
