BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE
CITY SELECTIONS Although Good Soul is a lightly raced filly with plenty of potential, she has a bit to prove after a lacklustre effort last time out. With that in mind, MURHIB is taken to record a third win over course and distance now stepping back in trip after running over further at Kempton the last twice. Damned Elusive has been tough to keep out of the frame and she completes the shortlist.
