GOING: S(5)

LADBROKES CALCUTTA FRIDAY 25TH JULY RATINGS BAND 0 - 55 Handicap 1560m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +2m 900-400; +2.5m 400-W/Post; True Remainder.  

Smokin' De Quo to take up the running with Bo Bo Beware and Dubalene close at hand. BO BO BEWARE (2) has a handy record over this circuit with a win and five placings from just seven spins. Handles all going and a return to the winners' stall would not surprise. DUBALENE (7) shed the maiden tag at the latest outing and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Draws the inside alley and can go right on with the job now. MR GREY (6) saves his best form for this course and distance with a win and three placings from just five attempts. Include in calculations. SMOKIN' DE QUO (5) has hit the frame at the past couple of efforts and looks a must for the multiples. BELMONT PARK (3) strips fitter second-up from the spell and may trouble the judge from the favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Bo Bo Beware.
