Verdict

OUT OF LUCK (2) has grown a leg since joining the new stable with two wins and a placing from just three starts and will be at peak fitness for this fourth-up. Gets gun hoop Wiggins on board from the favourable draw and another strong showing would not surprise. CONVERTOR (7) loves it here on his home circuit with two wins and eight placings from 16 spins. Should be able to sit up on speed and will give backers a sight. MORDECAI (5) doesn't win out of turn but is usually thereabouts and is a must for the multiples. AL RAS BLUES (6) is a winner over this mile journey and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky alley to be playing a role in the finish. JOE'S GIGGLE (1) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Workout

A workout is a timed sprint over varying distances prior to a race, meant to get a horse fit enough for competition.

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.

Superfecta

A wager involving choosing the first, second, third, and fourth horses in one race in the exact order. A superfecta box involves paying more to ensure they can finish in any order in the top four spots.
