All racecards for Wednesday 9th September
We said2nd of 9, beaten 2 at 11/2
WOODLEIGH 8/1
WOODLEIGH at 8/1, Roger Fell and Oisin McSweeney, is the one I keep coming back to. He has won here 3 times and has the right side of the draw.
The one worry is run style against this track.
The dangers are PORT DARWIN at 8/1 (well handicapped) and CHESNEYS CHARM at 7/2 (well handicapped).
