Monday 25th October

 

It's very important to note that the terms of this race are not a Handicap and that leaves a pretty hot favourite from the Bowen yard that looks to have been found a good opportunity.

 

I think the standout each way value, particularly in the early markets though is with BAD RABBIT whose Course runs have delivered some solid place form with 2nd from 8, 5th of 14 and 3rd of 14 amongst the horses best career runs. It achieved those off marks of 58 - 59 and 55 and on collateral evidence this looks a decent weight to carry under the terms of the race.

 

I'll be disappointed if we don't place at least and give the favourite a battle to the line.

This looks to be an ideal opportunity for PERMISSION GRANTED as we have to take the fitness of the favourite Manetti on trust and it's needed a run before now on seasonal debut.

 

THE ELECTRICIAN may be a danger upped in trip but it's a far distance hike its taking and the better each way value may lie with ATOMIC ANGEL who ran well at Hexham to a point last time on seasonal debut and who should get this trip on this flatter Course if ridden with some restraint early on.
