GOING: H(8)

PREZZY CARD MILE 1600m

Track: Soft 7     Out 6m  

From wide out Rudyard can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. UDERZO (5) was a very big run at his last start in a G3 race. Multiple class dropper in this. Top tier must here. LITTLE BIT OF LOVE (2) is a triple track winner. Multiple class dropper in this field too. Stablemate of the top pick in this. Quinella and trifecta threat here. RUDYARD (4) was close up at his last start. Multiple class dropper here. Include him in all of your multiples. HASSTOBEAWINNER (1) is a multiple class dropper in this after missing at G2 in his last start. Trifecta and first four chance in this line up. MOSINVADER (8) has been racing well in all of his runs this time in. Has been course placed before. Multiples must in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Uderzo and Little Bit Of Love are win wagers.
