All racecards for Wednesday 2nd September
We saidWon at 9/1
SONORAN 14/1
3 of these want to be on the pace, which usually means they go too quick and it falls to something coming from behind.
SONORAN at 14/1, G M Lyons and Colin Keane, is the one I make it. He has had 4 of his last 4 starts on the wrong trip, back to 8f today, close to the 7f he wins at and his mark is 3lb lower for it and was staying on at the finish last time.
The dangers are GREAT MOVER at 14/1 (went close off this mark) and ZARAAHMANDO at 6/1 (went close off this mark).
