Verdict

ANDREW'S MEMORY (6) is yet to break through this campaign but finds a suitable assignment dropping in grade and finally draws a favourable gate. Gets in well with the 7lbs claimer engaged and rises to his pet trip on the quick back-up. Plenty to like. He's the one to beat. SPIRIT OF FLIGHT (13) has been solid in two runs back without threatening. Already a winner here and should be hitting her straps now third-up. Shapes as the main danger. CHARLESFORT (15) had no luck last start, getting out too late yet still picking up sharply into fourth. He's a winner here but drawn the carpark, so will be left with plenty to do when straightening. PRICILLA'S CHOICE (10) has mixed her form this prep but is a track and trip specialist. Murtagh reunites and boasts two wins aboard. Have to include.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Show Wager

Betting on a horse to finish in the first three spots, which pays out the same whether they win or run second or third.

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.

Minus Pool

A pari-mutuel pool – typically a show pool - where one horse is so heavily bet that after deductions there is not enough money left to cover the prescribed minimum on each bet.
