|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of pace from Balance Of Power, Phantom Dragon and Pep Torque matching motors ahead of Prisca. BALANCE OF POWER (2) he is in stupendous form. Only up half a kilo here on last start after a win. Can get hat-trick. Drawn wide. Impossible to ignore. KING OF THE NORTH (6) has been racing well for a while now. Course placed. Winning rider atop. Quinella and a trifecta chance. COURT OF APPEAL (10) she has run well in all races this time in. Has won on dry and wet ground. Impossible to omit her from anywhere. LIVID SKY (5) she has run well in her last three runs and won two of them. Proven on dry and wet. Include the mare everywhere. HASSTOBEPERFECT (7) is a trifecta and first four chance. All of her wins have come left-handed interestingly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Balance Of Power and King Of The North are win wagers.
