All racecards for Friday 18th September
We said6th of 10, beaten 7 at 22/1
TRISHULI RIVER 20/1
TRISHULI RIVER at 20/1, Shane Crawley and Jack Cleary, gets the vote, and it is the kind of race we wait for. He has had 4 of his last 4 starts on the wrong ground and his mark is 7lb lower for it and has won here 4 times.
The risk is NAKASERO, the only confirmed front-runner here — front-runners at this track win 2.1 times their share of these races, and an uncontested lead could be decisive.
The dangers are CELTIC DRUID at 9/1 (a course winner) and DAONETHATGOTAWAY at 9/1 (a course winner).
Non-runners: Cozone.
