Race Tip

JAMESIECONN (4) bids for a hat-trick after notching up a third career win at Doncaster three weeks ago. Had to dig deep to score by a head on that occasion but should have plenty left in the tank to kick on here. Another seeking a third straight win is the progressive VOLEUR DE TERRES (6) who was last seen winning by 3. 5L at Warwick in February. Not harshly treated for that win and retains significant potential. GIRLS BEST FRIEND (3) was unlucky to have got pipped at the post down at Exeter three weeks ago when denied by a short head. Player once more. SUPER CITIZEN (1) well exposed but in good form this winter and not ruled out.
