3.21 R6 No5 Gainango - Decided to go with Gainango in this who shapes as the biggest certainty of the day so far. Very well bred by Grand Slam (Gone West) out of a Copelan mare having 6th career start here. Has finished 2nd at all of last 4 starts against similar. Has the necessary seen speed to go forward and dictate pace through the early and mid stages without working too hard. After vthe good run mid race should be able to close off with superior closing pars and win in the stretch. Switches to a high percentage jockey for today's assignment and trainer has a 20% strike rate with shippers and 22% strike rate with beaten favorites last start. Minor query over Lord Ardilaun 1st starter by Dixieland Band but Gainango seems to have too much fitness, race experience and should win here and finally break maiden status.
