Race Tip

AIRWAVES (4) was below his best last time when ninth over 1m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so he is likely to play a big role. BRITISH GEM (9) accounted for a maiden field over 7f at this track last start, finishing 0. 9 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Big chance to go back-to-back. VOUCHERS (5) settled well back last start and never threatened when 5. 5 lengths from the winner in 11th over 6½f at this track. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. THE KOBAY TRAIN (8) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 6½f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
