TALK OF THE TRACKS
Although there will be a couple of short-priced favourites for tonight's semis, the overall betting for the Essex Vase is wide open with 7/1 available about Bubbly Totti, Go Big Hittrr and Droopys Carvalho.
There were several interesting minor opens at Hall Green last night, kicking off with the Sprint Trophy over 258 metres which was won by Officer Donagh (4/7).
Gan On Parker (6/4jf) was an easy 3L winner of the Puppy Trophy over 480 metres, while the Stayers Trophy over the 645-metre trip went to 4/5 shot Ashby Diamond in a useful 40.53 sec.
