Race comment
OVERVIEW: SON OF MAC (9) returned to form at the trials before winning a good race at Melton on March 14 and then sat parked and dropped out in a hot race a fortnight ago. With a good draw and some likely speed up front, he should run well at perhaps an each-way price. With a better draw for VINCENZO (7), I’d probably have him on top. He’s flying of late and ripped out a sizzling 55.10 last half coming from off the pace to cut the margin on the smart New Shuffle to just 1.2m last weekend. TEN DA TOUCH (3) sustained a wide run and only went down narrowly to ALWAYSBEALADY (6) last time out and looks very ready to win, while TARA VICTORY (4) out-sprinted Mighty Jolt to score a deserved success on Saturday night and is one of the likely leaders here.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: SON OF MAC (9) returned to form at the trials before winning a good race at Melton on March 14 and then sat parked and dropped out in a hot race a fortnight ago. With a good draw and some likely speed up front, he should run well at perhaps an each-way price. With a better draw for VINCENZO (7), I’d probably have him on top. He’s flying of late and ripped out a sizzling 55.10 last half coming from off the pace to cut the margin on the smart New Shuffle to just 1.2m last weekend. TEN DA TOUCH (3) sustained a wide run and only went down narrowly to ALWAYSBEALADY (6) last time out and looks very ready to win, while TARA VICTORY (4) out-sprinted Mighty Jolt to score a deserved success on Saturday night and is one of the likely leaders here.

OVERVIEW: SON OF MAC (9) returned to form at the trials before winning a good race at Melton on March 14 and then sat parked and dropped out in a hot race a fortnight ago. With a good draw and some likely speed up front, he should run well at perhaps an each-way price. With a better draw for VINCENZO (7), I’d probably have him on top. He’s flying of late and ripped out a sizzling 55.10 last half coming from off the pace to cut the margin on the smart New Shuffle to just 1.2m last weekend. TEN DA TOUCH (3) sustained a wide run and only went down narrowly to ALWAYSBEALADY (6) last time out and looks very ready to win, while TARA VICTORY (4) out-sprinted Mighty Jolt to score a deserved success on Saturday night and is one of the likely leaders here.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: SON OF MAC (9) returned to form at the trials before winning a good race at Melton on March 14 and then sat parked and dropped out in a hot race a fortnight ago. With a good draw and some likely speed up front, he should run well at perhaps an each-way price. With a better draw for VINCENZO (7), I’d probably have him on top. He’s flying of late and ripped out a sizzling 55.10 last half coming from off the pace to cut the margin on the smart New Shuffle to just 1.2m last weekend. TEN DA TOUCH (3) sustained a wide run and only went down narrowly to ALWAYSBEALADY (6) last time out and looks very ready to win, while TARA VICTORY (4) out-sprinted Mighty Jolt to score a deserved success on Saturday night and is one of the likely leaders here.
