BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS BLACK BOX put in an encouraging effort when fourth at Wolverhampton last week and she could be worth taking a chance on here. Company Minx must feature prominently in calculations from stall one, though a bit more will be required if she’s to come out on top. Shamshon is capable of going well and he’s another to be interested in, while Amazing Amaya completes the shortlist.
