Coral On Tv Marathon, heat 1, 750m, 7.26pm - when Eye Onthe Spirit last appeared over this trip she got no run at all, but has been performing well over 575m, coming with her customary late run, without getting her head in front. She is now 17 weeks out of season, which could just work the Oracle in this tricky heat. Greedy Bridie is a worthy short priced favourite and a class act. Droopys Kirbee is always capable of a big run, however, I will take a chance on Eye Onthe Spirit at a decent price. Available with Coral at 8/1.
Coral On Tv Marathon, heat 2, 7.58 - Bubbly Eagle has taken on top class opposition throughout his career, and recently finished third in the TV Trophy behind star bitch Midway Skipper. However, he is not one to rely on a short price, so I will side with the well drawn sole wide seed Brimardon Star for Tony Collett. He is a consistent animal and can make use of his handy slot. Rough Mariah for Darren Whitton is no mug on her day. 9/2 can be had with Coral.
Coral On Tv Marathon, heat 3, 8.28 - I am a fan of Benro Benny, but he seems to have gone off the boil lately and a watching brief is advised. Blonde Blitz is well drawn outside in trap 6 and a danger to all, however, Say It Clearly has performed well since upped in trip. Diane Henry's strong running bitch even has a chance of leading when it should then be a case of race over. Coral is offering 2/1.
