GOING: G

Ladbrokes Form Genius Handicap 1200m

Track: Good   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: True.  

Slick tempo with Only The Best to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. Tough start. PUB CRAWL (3) was a winner here two back then not far away last weekend over 1100m. Gets a little weight relief and is drawn to stalk hot speed. Extra trip a plus and well worth another chance. CAP TEN (1) has been going well for the new yard including a win three back, and a last start placing here over 1100m when beaten just half a length. Drawn for a cheap run and rates a leading prospect. HELLO MARY (12) was well in the market last time but ran below expectations, finishing eighth and beaten 9 lengths at this track over 1400m. Down in weight and over this sharper trip will be winding up strongly late. EVEN SHARPER (2) is a consistent type who finished third fresh over 1100m at this track. Placed 3/3 course and distance and off the inside should run well. LETHAL ENCOUNTER (10) was also solid fresh finishing fourth after a very long time away. Will be far fitter for it and can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Pub Crawl.
