6 Nancy Latour <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
Tip of The Day<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

First run out of maidens tonight for Nancy Latour (6) after a big win last week. Not so concerned about the jump in grade as <\/span>she\u2019s<\/span> raced better than a maiden in all three of her starts. A good beginning or a chance to work onto the speed like last week and <\/span>she\u2019ll<\/span> deliver again. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

5 Dolly Parton <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Some monstrous efforts of late from Dolly Parton (5) in some <\/span>very good<\/span> fields. Racing so well and often doing it tough too. No superstars to compete with here and if she gets onto the speed then <\/span>they\u2019ll<\/span> need to be <\/span>very good<\/span> to get the better of her the way <\/span>she\u2019s<\/span> going. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Alex Park Harness Race 3<\/div>\n
1 And Remember Me <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Got it wrong here a couple of weeks <\/span>ago, but<\/span> was excellent running second the start prior and if And Remember Me (1) can recapture that sort of form here then looks a serious player. Just needs to get it right early and if the manners are there then a big chance. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

4 Sugar Ray Lincoln <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Each Way<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Not a great deal of form to speak of so far this time in from Sugar Ray Lincoln (4) but boy does he find an opportunity tonight. Massive drop back from racing the likes of B Envious, War Chief and Nazare in the last three and good enough to make his own luck in this kind of field. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

12 Illicit Love <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

A rare mistake in the record last time out from Illicit Love (12) but happy to allow for one. Should get redemption here as the best horse in the race, just needs a little bit of luck at the right time to bring him into the race. Then the class should show. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Expecting sharp improvement from the first up run to tonight from Doo You Want Me (6). A class customer who will make his presence felt in a race over the next few months. Nice chance here to find some winning form. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
