Haydock Park Race 5 - William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap
STRENGTH OF SPIRIT (1) Winner by 1L last start at Musselburgh and challenged by less formidable competitors. Shows very good finishing speed. The large claim from Jack Nicholls helps and solid career start. Strong claims. GO RIMBAUD (4) Finished on top by 1L last start at Kempton and showing consistent performance in races. Shows good early pace. Competing at a higher class. Will be around the mark at odds. SEE BLUE (3) Nice run when finishing 2nd last run at Southwell but competing at a higher level of competition. Should get going late. Genuine winning chance. COMMANDING OFFICER (6) Resumes from a break of 33 weeks. Picked up nicely to win last start at this venue and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Challenged by more formidable competitors. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race.

Was all too good winning by 1L last start at Musselburgh and stepping down to a lower level. Has a great burst of speed late. Large claim helps. Commands respect.

First up and got the upper hand late when winning first up last preparation at Pontefract. Interesting to see the winkers go on for the first time. Cannot recommend as a betting proposition.

Did a good job when winning by 1L last start at Kempton and good career start. Should muster plenty of early speed. Rising in grade. Solid claims.

Back from a break of 26 weeks. Was $12.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 4th last start at Newbury but racing in stronger company. Should be going forward early. Best to watch and see.

Odds of $9.50 and finished 5th last start at Musselburgh but taking on a lower class of opponents. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Could be in the mix.
