RACE 8
LITTLE HOOFANNANNY (2) appeared to have every chance two starts ago when comprehensively beaten by Perfectly Quirky at this track. If she was able to find her way to the lead she would become the one to beat and very hard to run down. She ran well behind Bettors Moon last start.
BETTYS GOLD CLASS (1) has very good gate speed and showed that two starts ago to zip across and lead them up before taking them all the way. She steps up in class and up in trip to the lead 2040 which has never been her preferred distance. She will have options shortly after the start.
SMARTER THAN YOU (5) was good enough to battle away for fourth when first up for a spell behind Bold Medley Jujon who rated an incredible 1.50 mile rate in a fairly low grade race. He should be better for the run first up and has always been a horse that’s shown good ability.
B MAC C (9) was badly held up last start at a crucial stage when running third at Marburg. He isn’t ideally suited over the 2040 in this race but has won at the track and trip previously and looks well placed in this grade of race.
SELECTIONS: LITTLE HOOFANNANNY (2), BETTYS GOLD CLASS (1), SMARTER THAN YOU (5), B MAC C (9)
SUGGESTED BET: SMARTER THAN YOU (5) each way.
