ARGENTINE can complete the four-timer at the main expense of Brut and Rocketball. The selection could not be in better form and he coasted to victory at Carlisle on Monday. The handicapper is doing his best to make life difficult but he has not yet got his measure and from a good draw we think he can strike again. Brut finished third behind Raccoon at Catterick when last seen out so if Ruth Carr's runner wins earlier on the card then that will give the form a boost. Rocketball has twice chased home Argentine and although he is weighted to get closer here, there is a question mark over his ability to turn the tables. Ridley Didley has plenty of speed but he has been disappointing of late, while Mr Rooney does boast course and distance winning form and he can go well at a price. However, for the winner we will stick with Argentine.
