RACE THREE
DOWNTOWN LUCCA (8) is still winless here at Marburg but might just have found the race to overturn that statistic. Making some ground form deep in the pack last start behind the in-form COBBITY CASTLE, he was a close 2nd 3 starts back. He may need to work in the middle stages here but finds a winnable contest.
SIR HASZEM (3) is still a maiden tackling some experienced performers here but can bring early speed to this battle. Not suited when retreating from a wide gate at Redcliffe last start, he was only gunned down late in front 5 runs back. If first to the pegs, he will give plenty of cheek in front.
COUNTRY RUN (7) is yet to land a win in 8 attempts here at this track but has placed on 3 occasions. Also placed his past 3 in succession from tough gates, with an even slice of luck he is in the mix here.
CHANG (1) should enjoy an easy trip in behind the speed and will be looking for the gaps over the closing stages. Not suited last start when working in the run, he can be chiming in here.
SELECTIONS: DOWNTOWN LUCCA (8), SIR HASZEM (3), COUNTRY RUN (7), CHANG (1)
SUGGESTED BET: DOWNTOWN LUCCA (8) to win
