GOING: G(4)

BMGS HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 6.70)  

A solid tempo on the cards with American Thighs heading them off. THATSTHEWAYILIKEIT (7) caught the eye with a bold finish for third here fresh up just over 2 weeks ago, finishing only a length behind the winner. She stays at the same trip but looks to have plenty of upside, and her next win is not far away. On top at what could be some each-way value. DUBLIN RED (2) is a stablemate of the top pick and gives top local trainer Peter Fernie a strong hand in the race. He will be peaking third up from a spell, and with the advantage of the pole position, he can take this out. AMERICAN THIGHS (4) rounds up the Peter Fernie trio and is not the least of his winning chances, after she was runner-up here last time out. She has not missed a cheque in a couple of starts third up in the past, and she also has winning claims. FLOBA (1) is a handy gelding resuming from a spell. He normally takes a run to get ready but is good enough to grab a slice of the first 4 if he is even three-quarters ready. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thatsthewayilikeit each-way.
