Race Tip

LYRA LEA (7) finally scored on turf at the eighth attempt winning at Sandown Park when back down to this trip. Handicapper has not been harsh and should give a bold sight. SCUTARI (4) makes his debut for a new stable having started his career in France. Karl Burke continues the great season and this colt requires a market check providing initial handicap outing. ZATSGOOD (1) now wears a first time tongue strap and cheekpieces for just his second attempt on turf. Only beaten a head at Newcastle and is worth giving a chance. LIGHTNING POLKA (6) is yet to kick on after debuting with a triumph however holds every chance as the assessor loosens his grip.
