PLAY SMARTER

AMI DES FLOTS was runner-up in a thin contest on her yard debut at Ffos Las last month, but with this step up in trip bound to suit, she’s taken to go one better. Sure Touch ran well in a brace of handicaps earlier in the year and looks the main threat returning to maiden company after a break.
