Harlow Race 9

415Mtrs (A4)

Stake: $789

ESSJAY FALSTAFF (3) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 4 lengths (26.53) at Harlow in an A5 over 415m. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Expected to be right there at the finish again. SHIVERY PANTS (6) jumps from trap 6 again after finishing a 8 length second (27.06) last time at Harlow over 415m. Leading player again. OVER EASY (5) was never in contention last time at Harlow, but prior to that won by 2.5 lengths at Harlow (26.61) beating Old Fort Rinty in an A5 on May 2. Can measure up this time. GOTHIC ICON (1) followed a unplaced effort at Harlow two back with a sound second, beaten 4 lengths, last start in an A3 at Harlow over 415m (27.21). Deserves another chance this class.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 415m in an A3 at Harlow. The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.
