GOING: H(8)

TRISTAN TRIFFITT EXCLUSIVE ESTATE AGENTS CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Despite the small field Royalify, Tango Queen and Manwe can set a strong tempo. PICK UP THE TAB (1) strolled in on soft ground first up and tackles an extra furlong up in class. Cosy draw keeps him on the up and up. TANGO QUEEN (6) looked home at this track last start and launches from another safe draw. Offering career best at present. LADY SAVANNAH (5) was beaten 2.75 lengths into fifth when resuming last start over 1300m at Newcastle. Fitter and has claims. MANWE (3) third-up following a couple of moderate runs since resuming. Look for an improved run here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pick Up The Tab win.
