All racecards for Thursday 22nd October
We said10th of 12, beaten 6 at 18/1
PHYSIQUE 22/1
PHYSIQUE is the only confirmed front-runner, at a track where making the running is worth a little (front-runners win 2.0 times their share).
PHYSIQUE at 22/1, Micky Fenton and Grace McEntee, looks the most likely of these. He won by 3.75L (~7.5lb), raised 3lb — 4.5lb in hand and is a twice-winner over this course.
SIERRA SANDS rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — never run on soft or heavy in 11 starts — and today is heavy.
The dangers are THE QUIET GENT at 13/2 (went close off this mark) and YES I'M MALI at 4/1 (went close off this mark).
Non-runners: Court Drive.
