Race 4

Prize Money: $571

HIGHFIELD LASS (4) hit the frame with a narrow second two runs back then claimed a D4 by 1.75 lengths at this track over 285m (16.76) last time. Rates well this line-up and is clearly the one to beat. RIAMBO LILY (2) had been in super honest form hitting the frame three times on end before finishing fourth (15.59) at Oxford last time. Has a good record at this journey. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Has the ability to give this a shake. JOHN BOY HENRY (1) jumped from this trap last time and placed in a D3 at this track over 285m, finishing third (16.90). Has a very consistent record off this same box, including two wins and six placings from 12 starts. Expecting another bold showing. ANNADOWN PADDY (5) is worth consideration.
