BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS Dalby Forest has gone close to breaking his maiden on several previous occasions and is a key player in a race of this nature. However, the three-year-olds get a handy weight-for-age allowance and it might be worth chancing YESTERDAY’S HERO making a winning start at this level. He’s a half-brother to a Listed winner over this trip and appeals as a likely type on debut. Midnightattheoasis is also considered.

Probable S.P’s: 5-2 Midnightattheoasis (GB), 7-2 Dalby Forest (GB), 7-1 Desert Fighter (IRE), Yesterday’s Hero (IRE), Dance Angel (IRE), 14-1 Passion Tango (USA), 33-1 Poetic Jack (GB), 50-1 Kinky Boots (GB),100-1 De Rocker (GB), Carranita (GB)

PLAY SMARTER Richard Fahey has his team in good form so it may be worth chancing newcomer YESTERDAY’S HERO, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Midnightattheoasis needed the experience on his debut but showed promise by the finish and should go well, while Dance Angel is another debutante who makes paper appeal.
