BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS A competitive event and Bella Colorossa has an excellent chance if taking up this engagement (also declared at Kempton yesterday), having shown improved form when winning easily at the Sunbury track on her debut for this stable last week. However, in the event that she sidesteps this race, DUBAI EMPEROR may prove to be the best option after shaping well when a close fifth at Wolverhampton last month. Captain St Lucifer landed a gamble over C&D last time and should prove competitive, while James Park Woods is another to note.

PLAY SMARTER It might be worth taking a chance on the lightly-raced DUBAI EMPEROR who made quite an encouraging return from a break at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day. Ivan Furtado has his team in good form so last month’s C&D scorer Captain St Lucifer rates a likely threat. Bella Colorossa could also be a major player depending on how she fares at Kempton on Wednesday.
