Newmarket Race 6 - Boodles Handicap
ZARATHOS (7) placed five consecutive times including a narrow neck second at Nottingham before disappointing at Musselburgh finishing fifth. Can bounce back. SOLDIERS STAR (5) was 1L fifth at Haydock Park last month. Ran respectably and may go close this time. MAYDAY MALONE (9) improved on a tenth making seasonal reappearance to placing second at Chester last Saturday. May go one better. CAIRDEAS (3) holds winning course and distance form. Respect.
