Money Heist from the Gareth van Zyl stable takes his place in Race 4 and he is the best bet on the programme. He produced an eye-catching debut effort over this course and distance.
The manner in which he ran on at the finish that day was encouraging. The son of Gimmethegreenlight found betting support which suggests that he was showing good work at home.
It must be noted that Fire Lord has come out and won again since. He would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the horse to beat.
Trainer Mike Miller sends out Rulership in the lucky last and he may be the horse to close off the meeting. He ran a good race when finishing third over this distance on the polytrack last time.
The manner in which he finished off his race was encouraging. He was reported to be coughing that day. The son of William Longsword won on debut over this course and distance. He has plenty of scope and should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
