GOING: G(4)

Jan Miller Tribute BM56 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Dark Lager to take charge ahead of Emmcee at a solid tempo. EMMCEE (4) is a former Hayes galloper who has had a let-up and makes debut for new yard. Has been racing in much richer company and looks ideally placed this level over the seven furlongs after a freshen. Can hit the ground running for new barn. MILO (2) finished 11th fresh but was less than three lengths from the winner. Fitter and is a second-up winner. Expecting big improvement. DARK LAGER (3) was solid fresh then led throughout to score over the border last time. Take catching again. VADERLEE (5) has been thereabouts lately. Best form is clearly this trip and looks a definite winning hope on best figures. FINAL BOY (7) has been safely held two runs form a spell but has placed at this longer journey and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Emcee for the new yard.
