ASCOT FARM 1300m Track: SYNTHETIC True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo, primarily from Hello Zara and Alezando. ALL TOO BOLD (2) was a beaten favourite here in a similar field 2 weeks ago, and cops a similar draw this time. He strips fitter and is the one to beat. Follow your money. SHATIN (3) warmed up late when finishing fourth here fresh up over 970m, and the extra 330m will make all the difference this time. Stick with him on an each-way basis. INAHEARTBEAT (5) makes his debut, and he has won the latest of his 2 public trials. This field is not strong, and he is sure to be well supported in the market. BUCCINO (6) is usually consistent when fit, and she was third here 2 weeks ago in a similar modest field. Top 4 claims again. LOOPY FAROOKI (9) resumes from a spell that would have done her the world of good. She has been close up in 2 tune up trials, and from the pole position, she is worth including in all top 4 combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shatin each way.
