GOING: S(5)

RANVET HANDICAP 1500m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.44)  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Northern Eyes. LITTLE COINTREAU (6) ready to win fifth up and the improving surface gives him a great chance. Kept finding on the line when a narrow third over 1500m here on May 31. Key jockey change for this, and represents good each way value. MICKEY'S MEDAL (5) rewarded for his consistency when sprinting quickly to break through in weaker class over this track and distance. Similar set up again with Nock's claim and will be in this for a long way. PURE ALPHA (10) stalked the speed last time out when a narrow second here over this trip. Doesn't have to improve much to win this from the low gate. NORTHERN EYES (3) gets favoured conditions and will relish the weight drop with McMurray's claim. CHICA MOJITO (2) looks the best of the rest with an okay second up record. SUGGESTED PLAY: Little Cointreau from the good barrier.
