WOLF SIGNS TROTTERS RATING HANDICAP 2138m

Track: GOOD      

INSTANT DELIGHT (11) has been racing well at this circuit of late with a string of top-four finishes including a win from a tougher handicap three back. Came off the 50m mark for fourth last week. Big chance. BENJI HALL (12) worked when midfield in a higher-graded race at his latest appearance at Marburg but is much better placed having won in this class here two starts back. Major player. IGNITE (3) is a genuine threat having placed in two of three starts since winning from this mark. TRIAGE (10) goes back in the handicap but should be respected off a last-start win by 1.3 metres in a higher-graded race at Marburg.
