BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS The value call may be TOPLIGHT, who continues to drop in the handicap after some uninspiring displays and arrives here 2lb lower than his last winning mark, which came over this C&D last November. The Tron has been knocking on the door of late and he is entitled to be thereabouts again along with the well-handicapped Morty, who is well drawn in the inside stall. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Amalfi Gem, Enchanted Night and Privilege.

PLAY SMARTER THE TRON is the only one who arrives in form and he’s the obvious choice in a thin race. Most of the others have questions to answer, but Amalfi Gem and For Peat’s Sake have at least run well fairly recently, so they’re worthy of consideration.
