RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: KEAYANG SWEETHEART (9) will appreciate a significant drop back in class for this assignment and should prove hard to beat. She recorded a slick mile rate of 1.54.2 at a Melton victory on June 27 and she did a lot of work at her latest eighth (9m) behind I Am The Storm in 1.52.3 last time out. SAVON DE ROCHE (8) has returned from a spell in career best form having won at both of her attempts after racing on the outside of the leader throughout on each occasion. She kicked on strongly to defeat two of today’s main rivals in KEAYANG VIPER (2) and RANGER RICK (5) at her latest Horsham victory so she will make her presence felt with normal luck in running from her awkward draw. KEAYANG VIPER (2) won at her first three attempts and fought on well after setting the speed when second behind SAVON DE ROCHE (8) last time out. She is clearly the most inexperienced horse in the field but she appears to be very promising and is drawn to give another forward showing. RANGER RICK (5) is a versatile pacer and hasn’t finished further back than fourth at his ten starts for the season. He should run his usual honest race from his reasonable draw. BACK: KEAYANG SWEETHEART (9) – 1.5 units (each way)   The odds quoted on the fields page are a GoodForm generated price estimate based on a range of key form factors and are not necessarily the odds that may be offered by a licensed bookmaker.
