GOING: S(7)

LADBROKES COMMUNITIES Class 6 Plate 1400m

Track: SOFT7   Rain (Max: 29)   Rail: +1.0m Entire Course.. (Pent: 5.50)  

In the absence of noted leaders, Trodaire and Bring Me Flowers may be the ones to set a moderate tempo. UNDER THE LIMIT (5) has hit the top-five at his past four starts and does boast a win over this course and distance. Rates the testing material. REGGIE'S BOY (2) has placed two of his past three here and looks to be building up to another victory. In the mix. HARROW (7) saves his best form for this seven-furlong journey and can trouble the judge with any luck in running. BRING ME FLOWERS (6) next best in a race with only a couple of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Under The Limit to salute.
