GOING: G(4)

Book For Sportsman Luncheon Fri 9th Aug Maiden Plate 1560m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.9).  

The Eighth I Am and Cumin Spinner will press forward early in a keen battle for top spot. THE EIGHTH I AM (7) has placed three from three around this circuit and looks to be nearing a maiden victory. Will be at his peak now fourth-up from the spell, draws low and gets some weight off with the claim. Ticks plenty of boxes. CUMIN SPINNER (14) has been right there in all four starts since joining the new stable and the step-up in trip should suit. Cannot be ignored. BOLD ROUGE (13) will find this a touch easier than recent efforts and is another to get some decent weight relief. In the mix. JUKE BOX JIMMY (2) can sit in a handy spot from gate two and may trouble the judge. KLONDIKE STRIKE (3) next best in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Eighth I Am to win.
