VALE GARY GONZO ATHERTON HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD Rail: True. |

---|---|---|---|---|
Genuine tempo from Wojtek leading Who's Your Mama. WHO'S YOUR MAMA (1) caused an upset when winning her penultimate run here and then did not have much luck here a week ago when getting the shuffle-up at the wrong time. She is worth another chance in a slightly easier contest here. Stick with her on an each-way basis. WOJTEK (4) was runner-up behind the top pick when that horse won here 4 weeks ago and he is never too far from the action. He can make full use of the pole position and should be right in the finish again. WAR TACTICS (3) was a comfortable maiden winner here 2 starts back before being a beaten favourite here last week when he was running on late and looking for more ground. The extra furlong will make all the difference and he is set to make amends. DRAGONFLIES (2) is a lightly tried 9-year-old gelding who took his time to win his first race which came here 2 starts back and he then won again immediately after that last week, scoring by over 2 lengths. There is no reason why he can't complete the hat-trick. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dragonflies each-way.
