RACE SUMMARY:

Multiple C&D winner JAMACHO needs to shrug off a couple of lesser efforts since returning this term but he’s been afforded a chance by the assessor and he could just be worth siding with returned to this venue/equipped with a first-time tongue tie. Enthused is going through a good spell and can figure, with Hurricane Ali another live player under Brian Hughes. 1-2-3:
