PLAY SMARTER

Although only landing a thin race, HONEY I’M GOOD made a taking visual impression when scoring here 6 days ago and she should get the longer trip, so she’s taken to defy a penalty at the likely expense of Brianna Rose, who came out on top in a match at Uttoxeter in May Paris Dixie is an interesting chasing debutant.
