MINNESOTA LAD has been off the track since struggling in a tougher contest at York in May but he looks worth another chance on his earlier third over track and trip when beaten only a length in a race that has worked out well. Today’s opposition have looked distinctly moderate so far and Breath Catcher is fitted with a visor having failed to show any progress with the less-exposed Turbo Tiger preferred. Seabreezes has plenty of speed in her pedigree and is a newcomer to note.
