Daily Bet Boosts At Betvictor Nursery

Stake: $24,133

SUNNY SMILE (1) scored comfortably by 1.5L over 1200m at Hamilton Park last time. Lightly raced and open to improvement. DARK ALLEY (4) impressed securing a 4L victory attempting 1100m at Bath on latest outing. Set to follow up. INDY B (3) cannot be ignored after a nose victory tackling this trip at Salisbury. Makes appeal. AHEAD OF FASHION (5) might feature having run third in two of the past three starts.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Last start favourite; scored a big 4 len win at Bath July 16 over 1100m defeating Zipwire carrying 60.5kg at $1.70. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 14 at Windsor on June 16 over 1020m, 3.5 len behind Our Cody with 60.5kg at $12. Sure to be prominent again.

Racing well recently. Most recently 3rd in a small field at Newmarket (July) on August 1 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Beckford's Folly carrying 59kg at $7.50. The run before that raced on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Goodwood on June 8 over 1200m, slow going 5 len behind Jel Pepper with 60.5kg at $8. Definite winning chance. One of the chances.
