GOING: H(9)

LADBROKES OWNERS PROMOTION Class 2 Plate 1250m

Track: Heavy 9   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: True Entire Course.. (Pent: 6.10)  

Airborne Hotdog to take charge ahead of Floral Legend at a solid tempo. SHE'S A BEAUTY (10) has been in great form winning two on end before a close-up third latest. Tricky gate but leading rider aboard and will be tough to stop late. KIRIKAN (6) has strung together a host of placings and deserves to win. Wiggins aboard who has placed 7/8 rides without a win. He will be trying to fix that. MCLOVIN (8) had first run this area with a solid fourth behind She's Speedy. Has the ability and can go close. FLORAL LEGEND (12) is in form at the picnics and expected to measure up again. Aided by the claim. LECONFIELD (7) is fitter for two runs back and expected to do much better. SUGGESTED PLAY: She's A Beauty can atone.
