THE RACING CLUB CUP (HANDICAP) 1400m Track: FIRM |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Genuine tempo with the speedy Drombeg Banner leading the way. LITTLE PARADISE (8) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by one length over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with 2 wins from 3 starts. He steps up in class and is on target to repeat the dose. PUBLIC ATTENTION (9) continued the good recent form when he finished just half a length away in third last time out over 1400m at this track. He has some richer targets ahead of him, and he should go close to taking this out. INFINITE RESOLVE (13) got home by more than a length last time out over 1200m at this track. He has a decent record here, and he is capable of testing this field. INVINCIBLE SHIELD (3) was an unlucky third last time out, and will relish the extra furlong on offer this time. Each way value. SKY TRUST (6) lines up on the back of a bold fourth in G3 company over 1400m at this track. Has a solid record here over this journey, and with a soft run, he will be right in the finish again.
