Six year old horse who hasn’t won a race for nearly a year so connections are looking for a change of luck. Has only once missed a placing at his four starts at the distance, but is yet to win at the distance and class. Has the ability but a place bet looks best.

Five year old horse who is looking to continue his good form at the distance. Had a good run last start in a stakes over 1400m where he kept on coming so should be suited to the extra 100m. Has good record at the class and has definately got to be considered as one of the main chances.

Four year old colt who is the longshot of the race. His form looks good but this is a step up in class, and he hasn’t got much experience at the distance. Looks like a good mile horse and his last start was something special where he went post to post for an easy win with a speed of 114. I know he is the longshot but for me he is good value.

Six year old horse who is seen his fair share of the race track. Has won some big races and goes really well at the class, but is yet to win at the distance from 3 starts. I think his best is past him but prehaps a slight place chance.

Five year old horse who is trying to find his feet at this class. Both of his starts at the class have result in him finishing fourth, and his starts at GRP2 and GRP3 level weren’t that impressive. Has won 3 of 4 starts at the distance but I think he will be better next start.

Four year old colt who is the early favourite of the race. Has great form at class and distance and is dropping back in class. I think he will bounce back here and have win number 11.

Six year old horse who bookies think has a good chance of winning this. Dropping back in class and his stats at class and distance are good. Still in good form for his age and definately has the ability to win this.

Five year old horse who has been dissapointing his last 3 starts. Nearly all of his wins have been at this distance and he is dropping back in class but he has been well beaten his last 2 starts and maybe it’s time he has a rest in the paddock.
So there we have it that is the field, good luck to all.
