summary
SUN TOUCH presents as a good play here. This gelding is tough and he was carrying more than 60lbs above his normal bodyweight for his return run where I thought he ran an excellent third placing. He will be fitter today, has “trimmed-up” 13lbs, and has found a race without a great deal of pace in it on paper. There are other nice prospects in this event too, but most are looking for further and might get back in the run, which doesn’t look as if it will be ideal. GREEN CARD ran well on the opening day, he too can settle on-pace and if he shows up in the same sort of form then he can figure in the finish alongside Sun Touch. SEBFIRE is shaping as a talent, and his only run boasted good figures, but the outside draw and top weight make it tough for his resumption. Much the same applies to IRISH VEGA and SMART LEADER who both have upside. RELENTLESS ME has to be another play in this race, as his end-of-season form was excellent and he’s rated highly enough for him to win here. He maps nicely too.
