PLAY SMARTER

A hot sprint handicap that can go to FAST RESPONSE. She’s ending the year in fine form, winning easily at Doncaster on Saturday, and can get the hat-trick up. Tarhib and Fantasy Master are big players while the presence of 2-y-os California Gem, a fairly useful C&D winner, and The Thames Boatman, add further intrigue to the race.
