5 Seven Nation Army<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Beautifully bred debutant Seven Nation Army (5) steps out here on debut. Out of the very smart mare Baby Bling he looks to have some of the family ability. <\/span>They\u2019ve<\/span> been patient with him and the money has come first up too. Looks a winner<\/span>. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Four runs under the belt from <\/span>Signman<\/span> (7) so far for the campaign and <\/span>he\u2019s<\/span> taken on some <\/span>pretty smart<\/span> ones during those runs too. This looks a little easier and even from the wide draw he should be able to show his class and deliver in this field. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

6 Busy Canoodling <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Some strong recent runs by Busy Canoodling (6) have her knocking on the door of success. All around it <\/span>at the moment<\/span> and with the confidence levels right up, the only <\/span>option<\/span> from here is to get back into the winners\u2019 circle after a long break. Looks a great hope. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

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

A nice barrier draw upswing here brings Franco Miki (1) right into play. Is racing well in these kinds of fields, but often from tricky spots. Should get a nice trip here on the markers throughout and <\/span>wouldn\u2019t<\/span> need to go much better to deliver a winning turn at <\/span>a nice price<\/span> tonight. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

He\u2019s<\/span> trotted his way into some <\/span>really good<\/span> form of late has Kenny Hill (4) and while <\/span>he\u2019s<\/span> in the sweet spot <\/span>it\u2019s<\/span> worth continuing to follow him. Nice enough race here, even off the 10m handicap and if he can find his rhythm and be handy enough then he can win again. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\n
Tip of The Day<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Really brave effort last time out from Bettor Reaction (3) and looks to be closing in on some winning form. Will <\/span>likely roll<\/span> the dice here and look to find a spot on the speed and if <\/span>he\u2019s<\/span> able do that then he might have a little too much class for rivals here. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
