RACE TWO
JOHNROD (8) continued to press on from gate 4 here two starts back and worked to the front. Once in control, he was never in danger to pull clear for a winning margin of 12m. Sent forward from the second line last start but fading over the latter stages, he can bounce back despite the gate.
TEACHERS PET (7) is in search of a winning hat-trick after wins here over the 1780m and then at Marburg over the 1850m last start. Able to lead on both occasions, she will be hemmed away for this contest but if the gaps open in time and she has track, she can make a play.
ROCCO VARIETY (5) has been placed at his past three in succession at Marburg, each time run down when leading. Collared by KAY NORA SHANNON last time, he can be in the mix again here.
DARBY BRIGHTS (6) has been in consistent form of late, hitting the board at her past 7 in succession and in 11 of 14 this season. The wide gate stings for this assignment but she will not be far away.
SELECTIONS: JOHNROD (8), TEACHERS PET (7), ROCCO VARIETY (5), DARBY BRIGHTS (6)
SUGGESTED BET: JOHNROD (8) to win
