PLAY SMARTER

A potential match on paper between SNIPER POINT and Walk Of No Shame, with Alexandra Dunn’s French recruit getting the verdict to come out on top and supplement her Cagnes-Sur-Mer victory on New Year’s Day. The aforementioned Walk Of No Shame was fairly useful in bumpers, while By Pass and Beautiful Surprise can fight out third spot.
