BEST of the BETS

5:45 - PRINCE OF ROME (6/4) has been raised 12 lbs for his win over this c&d last month, but he won with such authority that I think he can overcome this step up in class. Richard Hughes is only 6 from 52 for last month, but all 6 of those winners were ridden by Shane Kelly (from 32 rides), and the combination has 3 wins from 4 runners at this track during last 30 days.

8:45 - HENRY CROFT (9/2) is 0 from 13 but is 11 lbs lower than at start of year. Last two runs on all weather, he was beaten 18 & 28 lengths but that was at big prices in 0-75 races. Significant drop in class to 0-60 today, and also dropping back in distance may help so I think he is worth a try in a poor race.

Win singles and each way double.
