Horses for courses: One track specialist for every meeting on Thursday
2 hours ago
El Astronaute and Major Jumbo are closely matched on the form of the former’s victory over course and distance last week at the Dante Festival. They’re both considered but the progressive DAKOTA GOLD is the one who makes the most appeal. He was a good third at Thirsk on his latest outing and a return to a bigger field handicap is a big plus for this keen going sort. With a strong pace guaranteed, he should be able to settle and can finish best of all to take victory.
