GOING: G(4)

Lest We Forget Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.45)  

Empire Of Pain and Cork Harbour have the pace to take up the running at a solid tempo. REDDERS (6) was well below his best last time in a hot form race but did pull up with genuine excuses. His effort behind the smart Shadhavar two back lines up beautifully for this and his tick over trial suggests he’s right back on song. DOBBINAIR (1) sets up perfectly fourth up after savaging the line here in his past two. He’s ready to win. VANGOGH BANKCHEQUE (7) was disappointing last start when well supported at Sandown-Lakeside. There’s no doubt he has talent, but he risks getting too far back again if the race shape doesn’t help. REGAL SECRET (9) was a strong winner here two weeks ago over this trip, running solid time from the front. Expect her to roll forward again and give supporters a sight. HOOKED ON WEALTH (13) can be his own worst enemy but if they overdo it up front he’s the type who can burst through late. Don’t forget about him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Redders to bounce back. Saving on Dobbinair.
