BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS Cases can be made for a few but the casting vote goes to PORFIN, who was not disgraced when finishing second at Southwell last week. The son of Belardo has been holding his form well on the all-weather this winter and he can build on his recent effort now dropping back to this shorter trip. Amasova is not to be underestimated after her success at Wolverhampton earlier in the month, while Mick’s Spirit and Portelet Bay also make the shortlist.

PLAY SMARTER A very competitive sprint handicap to kick the card off. A chance is taken on CUBAN BREEZE having her first start for David Evans. The yard does well with horses from other yards and she is on a career-low mark. Mick’s Spirit has been consistent of late and he’ll be a danger. Autumn Trail could offer some each-way value too.
