All racecards for Sunday 6th September
We said7th of 9, beaten 9 at 18/1
SPYCATCHER 8/1
REGIONAL is the only confirmed front-runner, and he is not our selection — and this is a track where that matters: front-runners here win 3.2 times their share of these races. An uncontested lead could be decisive, which is the risk to ours.
SPYCATCHER at 8/1, K. R. Burke and Clifford Lee, is the one — exactly the sort of race we are looking for. He won by 2.75 lengths and was raised only 1lb for it, leaving 5.9lb in hand, has the right side of the draw and comes from a yard in good heart at 26%.
The one worry is run style against this track.
The dangers are BEHIKE at 4/1 (won with plenty in hand) and AMERICA QUEEN at 9/2 (went close off this mark).
