Melton Friday 11 July

OVERVIEW: CINQUANTA (8) disappointed last start after leading and found wanting in the home straight. Gets a nice trailing draw and with a soft trip must be given another chance. WRITTEN IN SILK (2) drawn well and will be sitting just off the speed. Finished off well late last start and has each way claims.  HOME AND DRY (7) racing well but needs to overcome a wide draw and with a suitable trip is amongst the main chances. EYE SEE AMOUR (11) enjoyed a soft trip last start and finished off strongly to win. Sure to be doing his best work late. POLLY PEACHUM (1) ANGEL OF ANGER (3) and ITTAKESLUV (4) are speedy types and could be in this for a long way in a tricky race.
