Jimmy The Rich writes that What A Honey from the Lucky Houdalakis stable in Race 1 should give punters a good start to the day.
She produced a very good comeback run, finishing second over 1000m on this course. She was bumped at the start, but the manner in which she finished off her race was eye-catching.
The daughter of What A Winter will love the extra furlong on offer and should strip a much fitter horse.
She looks progressive and in this type of field, should take a power of beating.
St John Gray saddles Dance Partner in Race 6 and he represents decent each way value.
He showed good guts and determination when winning his maiden over this course and distance, four weeks ago.
The son of Modus Vivendi is well-related and stays all day. He takes on stronger company, but looks to have some class about him and should follow up.
