Family Folks can work over from a wide draw to lead. CYBER PATCH (2) was close up in both runs this time in. Won his Maiden here. Drawn wide but still a top-tier must today. CASEMIRO (5) is a multiple class dropper resuming here. Trial second last month. Course placed. Cannot be omitted from any of your combinations in this. ARUNDEL CASTLE (7) has raced well in his last two runs. Wide draw here. Course placed. Chance in this for sure. JACK CRABB (6) he has come back super this time in. Handles it dry and wet as well. Cannot be left out anywhere in this line-up. WIND RUSH (12) is a class riser here. He is racing well this time in. Handles all types of footing too. Must include this 3yo gelding. SUGGESTED PLAY: Arundel Castle is a win wager.
