SIGNATURE HOMES JUMPS DAY JUNE 14 MILE 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 10.5m  

Off the low draw Northern Raider should lead at a genuine tempo. MONDAY MELODY (2) has been racing well for ages. He won his Maiden here an is a win chance here no matter the footing on offer. ON THE TOWN (6) has had three runs here for two placings and a decent eighth. Top tier must in this drawn the ace. KOSTA (1) wide draw but he has not gone a bad race to date. Include him in all of your multiples. BARCELONA (16) ran a solid fresh-up third. Drawn wide in this but can handle it. She won her Maiden on this track when second up. Impossible to leave out here. TIME TRAVELLER (9) has been placed third up before. Course placed. He is a trifecta and first four chance in this line-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Monday Melody is the main win chance. If you think he cannot score here then On The Town is the main danger.
