Race Overview
PHILOSOPHY (2) has been in very good form of late and deserves another taste of victory. The only question will be will he get this longer distance? ALERIC (5) returns from a break after flopping last time out in a hurdle race but is competitive on the flat and has a winning chance. KORA NORDIK (9) was not disgraced at this track last time out and could like this longer distance. JOKE (6) has improved of late and should be competitive.
Selection:
2 - 5 - 9
