BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS Always Fearless and COOL VIXEN won divisions of the same race at Kempton 10 days ago and look the pair to concentrate on here. The latter gets the vote on this occasion because she has been more consistent in recent months. Maylah and Cap D’Antibes are both capable of going well if producing their best, while Mcqueen edges out City Central to be the pick of the remainder.

PLAY SMARTER ALWAYS FEARLESS managed to hold on despite going off hard at Kempton last time and is still well treated on old form, so he’s worth chancing to follow-up at a track that suits positive tactics. Fellow last-time-out winner Cool Vixen is an obvious danger and McQueen deserves respect.
