SEE YOU AT THE CHATHAM, CHATHAM TOURS 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 3m  

Genuine tempo from California Gold leading Powerful Moss. CALIFORNIA GOLD (1) he is a class dropper here. Has had three course runs for two placings and a fourth. The 5yo gelding can win this wide draw and all. INFERNAPE (6) she has run well in all of her three runs this time in. Drawn wide here. Four times placed on the course. Include the mare everywhere. SHAKING STEVENS (11) is an improver for this new yard second up. He can be included in all of your multiples in this line up. IFFIN DOUBT DANCE (4) has a wide draw here. She has been course-placed before. Place and first four hope for your combinations. MININJAGIRL (7) has not run a poor race in ages. Trifecta and first four must as usual. SUGGESTED PLAY: California Gold is the logical winner here wide draw and all. Shaking Stevens is the sly one in this.
