AGNES BANKS EQUINE VET TROTTERS MOBILE 1609m

Track: FAST      

ITZFERGIETIME (7) finished fourth to an in-form rival when resuming after more than two months off last start. Draws wider but has won a trial since so will have come on. This looks a winnable assignment. AFFAIRE DE COVER (4) did a job to come from a 40m handicap and finish third after racing three wide here last week. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. WE CAN HAVE IT ALL (8) is working her way towards winning form having placed in two of her last three outings at this venue. GUNNER (6) placed despite racing up to five wide when resuming. Races well second-up so can progress.
