PLAY SMARTER

As is usually the case, this is a very competitive consolation race and BLOW YOUR HORN is selected to bring up the 4-timer under a penalty having been faultless on the turf in June. Citizen General has returned an improved model this year, so Ed Dunlop’s 4-y-o could be the one to give the selection most to think about, while Appier and Mostly Sunny are another couple who may well have a say in proceedings.
