Newbury Race 5 - Rayner Bosch Car Service Hcp
The in-form DANCING TIGER (3) can gain a deserved breakthrough. Followed a 0.75L Lingfield second in a Class Five 2000m handicap with a nose defeat attempting a 2400m Goodwood Class Four handicap. Brings top form and likely to improve further. SARANGPUR (4) landed back-to-back wins over 2400m before a neck second in a 2200m Kempton Class Five handicap. Well poised for a return to the winning groove. INTO BATTLE (2) revisits the flat after a 294-day absence. Should be fit following a recent 3300m Bangor handicap hurdle success. Key chance. NOWSHESDANCING (1) holds potential after managing a promising 1.75L third in a 2400m Goodwood Class Four handicap thirty four days ago.

Form hard to fault. Most recently scored a big 4 len win at Bangor-On-Dee June 26 over 3300m defeating Centurion's Sister with 76kg at $3.50. The run before that 3rd in a small field at Aintree on May 15 over 3400m, 16 len behind Road To Wembley with 71kg at $17. Very fit now and is among the chances.
