Key stats:

Race 3
(7) Offa’s Dyke
(10) Power Primo
(4) Wrath
(2) Macspark
OFFA’S DYKE made his debut for his new stable here at his home track. He settled midfield in the run and was doing his best work late in the run when producing the 2nd fastest L600m of the entire meeting. Up to the 1200m trip now will suit and he should prove hard to hold out.
Suggested Bet – (7) Offa’s Dyke (Win)
Race 7
(1) Mckeever
(2) Tydeus
(3) Kova
(9) Elderberry
MCKEEVER was a big winner when resuming here recently and putting a solid margin on some of the key rivals he meets again here today. 2nd up for this race and back to the 1000m looks as if they may not suit, but given the way he won last time, he should again be the one to beat given the strong form he has resumed in
Suggested Bet – (1) Mckeever (Win)
