Rail – True

Race 5: BM 86 Handicap 1000m

Port Vale was a complete forgive first up I thought after copping a heavy check early in the race after jumping well and looking to take up a prominent position. Has won second up in the past, looks to find a winnable race here and can take a forward position from the gate, looks an improver. Musical Query is racing very well this prep, finds a suitable race here but does lose J. Kah. Barood is as honest as they come, maps well here and should be amongst the finish.
