There is modest pace and pressure in this G3 event at WFA over 2000m. DAZZLING MISS (8) she has been racing well enough of late. The mare has been triple G3 placed so far. Top tier chance in this field no matter footing on offer. HARLECH (1) is a definite winning chance in this. Course winner. Has won on dry and wet footing importantly. MAYOR OF NORWOOD (2) he won very easily at his last start. Course proven. Threat no matter the footing that is posted here today. KING OF THE CASTLE (3) is a course winner already. He has won on dry and wet footing too. Impossible to omit in this line up. RIVIERA REBEL (4) he has won two of his four runs here. The 4yo is a chance in this drawn the ace. SUGGESTED PLAY: Harlech is a win wager.
