All racecards for Wednesday 2nd September
We said4th of 7, beaten 10 at 6/1
GAME MANAGEMENT 9/1
GAME MANAGEMENT at 9/1, Lizzie Quinlan with Jake Dickson taking off 3lb, is the one that stands out. He has had 4 of his last 4 starts on the wrong ground and his mark is 7lb lower for it and knows how to win round here.
The one worry is run style against this track.
The dangers are KAMEEL at 9/1 (a course winner) and KOKO BLUE at 7/2 (went close off this mark).
