RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY

STARSHIBA has been knocking on the door in search of his fourth success of the AW season and David O’Meara’s gelding appeals as a very solid option with drop back to 7f no issue for the six-year-old. Gobi Sunset was seen to good effect from the front here last time and is respected again, whilst Ron O and Mighty Power are also in the midst of productive campaigns

RACE SUMMARY

KRAKEN POWER shaped well when second to Nellie French last time and if he’s not pressed for the lead this time he should be hard to pass Elzaal, a C&D winner 3 weeks ago, is an obvious danger and Enraged is one of several others to consider in an open race.
