GOING: G(4)

Ladbrokes Communities Class 1 Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +3m 1000m-W/Post; +1m Remainder.  

Not a great deal of pressure likely in the small field, with Tennagain a potential leader. FANCIFUL MR FOX (1) didn't measure up when first-up from a lengthy spell but will have come on with that run now under the belt. Has placed when second-up before and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. Can improve enough to take this out. OUR FOLLY (3) was too bad to be true last time out but go on the solid victory two back. Is a winner around this circuit and can make her presence felt. TSUNAMI FORCE (6) has won over this course and distance and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. In the mix. IMPERIUM (5) doesn't win out of turn but is capable on his day and may earn a cheque. QUEENBEEL (7) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fanciful Mr Fox to return to the winners' stall.
