XCITATIONS– 1.25 Pt Win @ 5/1 888Sport, 9/2 generally (may get BOG or bigger when all books priced up)
As I said when tipped last time, no doubt 2nd & 3rd time out is the time to catch this horse. Although carrying top weight (sign of the quality of this race), his mark has dropped to a generous looking 125 and again, over 2 miles from a mark of 128 and below he is 4 wins from 6. He bolted up in this race last year off a mark of 133 and trainer Pam Sly, since December 2018 has ONLY run this horse here 3 times and he WON twice, 1 from 1 for this jockey! Soft, stickier frosty ground is the only concern but I have to chance him again off an 8lb lower mark than last year and he should go very close.
