Race Tip

GARDEN OASIS (3) lost out narrowly by a head to place second contesting a handicap at Ripon on most recent appearance. Holds winning course and distance form. Can go one better. ALESSIA FERNANDA (2) has only won once in last six starts. Disappointed again on latest outing when seventh in a handicap at Beverley last month. Improvement expected. SOAMES FORSYTE (6) makes some attraction at the bottom of the weights. Failed to place in six most recent appearances including finishing sixth at Carlisle. More is needed. SPIRIT GENIE (1) will come on from finishing a poor twelfth in a handicap at York a month ago.
