---|---|---|---|---|
Norton Road has enough early dash to run them along. NANSHE (10) worked home solidly last time out and has good numbers at this type of trip. Fitness no issue and the promise of a firmer tracks plays in her favour. Winning claims. ALL MACHIAVELLIAN (6) looked a bit unlucky last start and the form out of his win two starts back has been franked since. Hard to catch type but racing very well this time in. LALAGUNA (13) will start at long odds but has been well back in recent runs over shorter trips. Much better suited at this trip and third up can improve sharply. NORTON ROAD (5) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nanshe to win.
