GOING: H(8)

BALANCE ACCOUNTANTS 2040m

Track: HEAVY 8     True from 1200m to WP, Remainder Out 1m  

Anticipate Malfy Rosa, The Cossack and Flamenco to set a strong tempo. NEVER LOOK BACK (3) he is racing super over fences and on the flat too in the last three starts. Gets a dual-winning flat rider atop here and can keep winning. WHO KNOWS (5) she won well last start in this grade. The mare is a top-tier chance again. RAGAMUFFIN (7) has run well in three of his four runs this time in. He gets a twice-winning rider atop in this. Include everywhere. ROGUE ROMANCE (12) the 3yo filly has been racing well in her last four runs. She is a wet tracker and has drawn wide. Cannot be overlooked in this field. MCKHAN (4) has run good seconds at his last two starts including once here. Wide draw. Cannot be omitted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Who Knows and Ragamuffin are win wagers in this field.
