HATAMOTO 11/2
HATAMOTO is the only confirmed front-runner — and this is a track where that matters: front-runners here win 2.8 times their share of these races. An uncontested lead could be decisive.
HATAMOTO at 11/2, Tim Easterby and David Allan, looks the most likely of these. He won last time out, has the right side of the draw and runs a style that suits this track.
The dangers are FINN IRONSIDE at 8/1 (well handicapped) and THE CHILDE OF HALE at 8/1 (well handicapped).
