GOING: S

TABTOUCH THE ROAD TO THE JERICHO CUP WA QUALIFIER 3100m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

A strong pace on the cards with Noahquintilly, Argyle Star and Audio Boy likely to roll along early. The feature of the day now and what a fascinating race it'll be. CHEYNE BAY (5) stuck on well from the front over 2400m at Ascot last time out and it looks as though he'll stay the extra trip. He's right down in the weights and he looks to possess more upside than his rivals. Can get back to winning ways. AUDIO BOY (4) has enough early speed to roll across from the wide draw and that's how he runs his best races. The trip is an obvious query, but he may be able to dictate proceedings under Nottle and he can be in front for a very long way. FAT ROY SLIM (2) is the class runner of this field, not being disgraced in Listed company before pulling up with a slight issue last time out. Steps out in trip now, but should get plenty of favours and he looks as though he'll stay all day. DEADLY AND FAST (3) is a track and trip winner previously and his form ties in through Fat Roy Slim. Big chance. MISTER POPCORN (10) is proven at this trip and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cheyne Bay goes on top in the Jericho Cup Qualifier.
