GRAND NATIONAL TICKETS ON SALE NOW RATING 75 1400m

Track: FAST     True  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Hey Now. PORCIA CATONIS (6) impressed winning here at her last start. Both of her wins have come on the track. Class riser. Drops to 52kg here after a claim. One to beat in this. MISS NICO BELLE (2) showing some form again of late. Dual course winner. She has drawn well in this. ALMINETTE (4) has been racing well for a while now. Drawn well and she has won here before. Stablemate of the top pick. Include her everywhere. HEY NOW (5) all of her wins have come here at this track. She is a class riser. Looks a place or first four chance at best. WAR COURT (3) has won here twice. She can run a placing or be in the first four. SUGGESTED PLAY: Portia Catonis is a win wager for sure in this line up.
