Verdict

LEMON CURD (4) was tried in front at Riverton nearly 2 weeks ago, and she fought on bravely to finish runner-up. She may try similar tactics here, and she could again take some pegging back. MONAGHAN BOY (1) stepped up in class on a 2-day backup and finished a fair sixth as the favourite at Riverton over 7f. He slides back down in grade here, and with a strong record on the track, he can make amends, so follow your money. VINO VALENTINO (2) finished a brave third last start, and her form has been heading in the right direction. The wetter the better for this mare, and she has top 4 claims again. GO LOTTE (3) turned her form right around with a big last-to-first win at Riverton. Stick with her.

Tack

The equipment the horse wears, including saddle and bridle. A jockey typically has their own racing saddle, placed on each horse they ride just before the race.
