GOING: H

www.hollywoodbets.net D STAKES 1200m

Track: HEAVY   Clear (Max: 15)    

Solid tempo from Royal Lytham, Champagne Mac and Gravity battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. LOVERS LANE (5) challenged strongly over this course and distance but was outrun late. He is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. Gareth Wright is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. ROYAL LYTHAM (9) has shown signs of needing her last two starts. She has won twice, finished second three times and third once from 14 starts over this course and distance. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and she would not be a shock winner. GRAVITY (6) produced a reasonable effort when fourth of nine last start over 1200m at this track. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Suitably placed to return to form. CHAMPAGNE MAC (8) placed fifth at this track over 1200m last start after being prominent at the corner. Placed to advantage and can return to form.
