GOING: G(4)

Ladbrokes Form Genius BM58 Handicap 1736m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.34)  

Reasonable tempo with Chico Sonado probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. Good race at the top end of the chances. CHA CHA CHANGES (6) has taken a while to get off the mark but did it with style last start, scoring by three lengths. Has upside and is fitter again. Placed 2/2 here and happy to stick with her. CLINGER (1) was a winner this grade two back then fifth in tougher grade last time. Looks well placed with the claim coming back a notch. CHOCOLATE ROYAL (11) carried a big weight fresh at the picnics and ran very well, then built on that when a narrow defeat this trip second-up. Fitter again and should go close. FULMEN FILOU (5) was good fresh when placed over a mile. Far fitter for it and can feature again despite the wide draw. CRYSTANADO (2) was placed two back then a big winner this class last time. Continues to race well and along the main hopes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Cha Cha Changes.
