Gordon Richards Stakes Tips & Betting Preview

Crystal Ocean brings the best form into the race, winning a Group 3 at Glorious Goodwood and running a mighty race in the Dante when last seen. All his best form has come at 1m 4f and beyond though and a drop to this trip on his return is a big worry. Preference is for FABRICATE, who was a comfortable Group 3 winner over Spark Plug at Windsor in August and he has the fitness edge thanks to a Listed win on return at Kempton. He won’t mind how the race is run and can land the spoils.
