Race Overview
VENTURA HIGHWAY (8) has been knocking at the door on his last two runs, the latest at Pau in late January in a competitive handicap hurdle. He is given marginal preference over DREAM DU LEMO (11) who has also been on the premises on his last two runs and can make the selection work hard for success. KHAL TYRON (3) can be recommended for the each-way players. POMPANO (12) and top-weight CALLIANDRA (1) can also have a say at the business end, in what remains a highly competitive and open contest.
Selection:
8 - 11 - 3
