RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: THE LADYBIRD (1) gets her best draw in some time to use her gate speed here over the short trip and attempt to hold the horse drawn alongside and lead. Her runs have been quite good lately and this looks her best chance to return to the winners list. BETTORSWEETVICTORY (7) draws her back and will be dictated by the map. She was able to lead last time as a well-supported favourite and seemed to have her chance there. TEX GOES BANG (8) won that race when sitting parked and was a forgive run last time from a bad draw. ENABLE ME (5) has found some decent form for the new stable but the draw is a little tricky. BACK: THE LADYBIRD (1) – 1 unit (win)
