Verdict

A well-run race over a stiff 5f brought out the best in LIBRA TIGER at Sandown and he still looks attractively handicapped following a 5 lb rise in the weights, despite a below-par showing at Windsor on Thursday. Swift Asset and Four Adaay are others to note in a competitive sprint handicap.

  1. LIBRA TIGER
  2. SWIFT ASSET (IRE)
  3. FOUR ADAAY
