GOING:

RIDING FOR THE DISABLED 18 JUNE CHARITY DAY 1300m

Track: AW     True  

Oban is expected to lead at a strong tempo. MULAN ARDECHE (7) is the form runner of this field resuming after a long spell. The filly ran well in all of her five runs last campaign. This is her first raceday outing on the Synthetic. She was a trial second here last month. SMART TIP (8) is also having her first race on the Synthetic. Drawn well in this. Has not run too badly at all so far this time in. OBAN (1) needed his fresh up run. Has been twice placed here in three course runs. He has been second up placed. Three times placed overall. Well drawn here and is a multiples must. STAR SMILE (2) he is better than his fresh up run indicates. Drawn wide here. The rise to 1300m helps no end. SHATIN (3) he was close up when resuming here. A placing or the first four is possible. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mulan Ardeche is the logical winner.
