walkover
Dado Mush, Hucking Heat and Jord are all in with chances and we stick with Dado Mush. The gelding has been in sparkling form of late and won convincingly on Sunday. On that evidence, his winning for this season appears far from over. Hucking Heat appeared to appreciate the application of first time blinkers and is sure to be thundering on at the death. He is likely to be capable of maintaining parity over Rebellious Spirit. Jord has struggled to get his head infront off similar marks in the past and his best chance appears to lie by trying to crack out and make all. Rigat has produced two stinkers in as many races and is now one to have reservations about. The race of the day without question and another opportunity for Dado Mush to score over course-and-distance.
