Verdict

BRADLEY (11) has hit his straps this season, and unleashed a big run to score at Trentham in decent BM65 company 4 weeks ago over a mile. Opie Bosson retains the ride, and with 6lbs less to carry here, he can take the next step immediately. UP THE ANTI (6) did not take long to find winning form from the O'Sullivan/Scott stable, scoring here by a head a month ago. He has performed well at this level in the past, and he can repeat the dose. BIG WAVE (2) nearly stole it here last time out when leading and only being claimed late, finishing runner-up by half a length. He is a big, bold front-running gelding that can take them all the way here. SAVOIR FAIRE (1) resumes from a spell with 3 trials under his belt, and he has been placed in 4 of his 5 starts fresh up in the past. He benefits from a 7lbs claim and could upset them here. PEERLESS (14) was a sound fourth here last time out, and won't have any fitness concerns after 3 runs back from a spell. Each way value.

Upcoming Races

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Trifecta

A wager picking the first, second and third horses in the exact order. A trifecta box means paying more to ensure the horses can finish in any order in the top three spots.

Rabbit

Also known as a pacemaker; this is a horse with no expected chance of winning but is used to prompt a quick pace on the front end of the race to the benefit of a stablemate who is a closer.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.
