PLAY SMARTER

SWEET NIGHTINGALE is taken to continue her progress and make her second start in a handicap a winning one. The 5-y-o took another step forward when third at Exeter behind David Pipe’s Kolisi, who has gone on to complete a hat-trick, and the step up in distance should suit. Karannelle also bumped into Kolisi on her last start so is respected, while Triple Nickle is interesting having dropped in the weights.
