Race Tip

DROP KICK (6) is selected with the most confidence coming off the back of a close second over course and distance last month. The safest option and will take some pegging back. TOP FLIGHT CENTURY (9) rates as a consistent performer. Deservedly returned to winning ways when landing a Sedgefield handicap during Christmas providing first start for new yard. Respect again in this field. STARLYTE (2) looks to be going through the motions somewhat at present. Arrives off a short break however and receives a dangerous handicap. WAINWRIGHT (14) keeps disappointing yet finds market confidence every time. Adopts new headgear.
