Lusaka^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 62

6/5

25/1, fifth of 18 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good) 22 days ago, very slowly away and racing away from the main action. Cheekpieces back on and worth chancing in a weak affair.

Form: 220/095

Geelong²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁷⁾| T: P & O Cole| OR: 61

13/8

25/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW) 28 days ago. Hasn't been firing this term, but mark is slipping.

Form: 543-469

Prince Ali⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: D Faulkner| OR: 60

6/1

Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft, 14/1) 40 days ago. More reliable on the AW, so others are more appealing.

Form: 9/55-440

(5)

Goodison Girl²⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: T E Whelan| T: E De Giles| OR: 45

11/1

16/1, sixth of 11 in handicap at Ffos Las (14f, soft). Off 8 months. Will probably strip fitter for the run.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

40/1

40/1, last of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Hard to make a solid case for.

Forecasts

Lusaka (6/5), Geelong (13/8), Bug Boy (10/3), Iron Heart (5/1), Prince Ali (6/1), Goodison Girl (11/1), Proud Warrior (40/1)

LUSAKA was much better than the bare result when fifth of 18 at Newbury last time and this is significantly less competitive, so he gets the nod over Geelong, with Iron Heart another one to consider if the market speaks in his favour.
