GOING: S(7)

ITM/GIB SPRINTERS CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL 1400m

Track: SOFT 7     True  

Good pace expected with Saint Bathans, Fonteyn and Illicit Dreams paving the way. STONYBRECK (4) he drops 4.5kg here for the class rise and looks very well in here at 55.5kg. Well drawn too. Win chance here for sure. IMPREVU (2) she has run well in both of her starts so far this time in. The mare has won when third up before as well. Definite threat in this field. SAINT BATHANS (6) has run well in both his starts so far this time in. Drawn well once again. He has won third up too. Include him everywhere in this. STERLING EXPRESS (3) was an inexplicable flop at his last start. Course winner. Has to be given another chance. HARLECH (1) gets a winning rider atop here. Place and first four chance in this line up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stonybreck is a win wager here.
