Race Tip

ORION THE HUNTER (5) was beaten just a head last start when second in a small field over 6f at this track at the first run of the campaign. Will be fitter for that run, can go on to win. ATLANTIC OCEAN (3) finished fourth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a head after being prominent at the corner over 6f at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to cope. AWASH (4) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when fifth over 1m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Tackling a more suitable race so he is a major player. FIELD OF FLUTES (2) returns from a lay-off. Finished third at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep 12 weeks ago. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. In the mix.
