Pro Sports Advice I Predict These Things Handicap (Gbbplus Race)

Prize Money: $18,634

ARKINTHESTARS (4) maintains solid form having scored by a neck over 2000m at Doncaster last time. Selected to go back-to-back. SPANISH HUSTLE (3) represents the main danger in view of a 2.25L runner-up effort tackling 2600m at this venue most recently. Key chance eased in distance. LORD PROTECTOR (1) was 0.5L third attempting 2400m at Ripon on latest outing. Not discounted. NEOMA (5) might fill fourth spot.
