The summer plate - watch the ground forecast changes! 160711

The age and experience of the winners varies with winners ages ranging from six to eleven and the number of races over fences also differs somewhat from a low of just five to a high of twenty-three in Tango Royal’s case in 2005.
Horses in poor form could be discounted though - all eight winners either won or placed on their previous completed outing  and or  having their first start of the season.
Jonjo O’Neills 2009 winner Nostringsattached carried the biggest weight to victory with 11 stone 5lb but six of the eight winners were rated between 127 and 139  
 have already given the stats for this race in previous post but again dodgy ground forecasts make this iffy 
ones to note ---Wake Board will handle any going and is an exciting progressive chaser the same applies to Buck Mulligan who has more miles on the clock and will def run better this way round with a bit of cut North Island won well here last time class 3 and the bowen factor digs in under Moore and Sapphire De Bois will appreciate the ground going really soft 
have to say I consider all of these are well enough in but will wait for the going report at 3.30 before my final selection

Hi John - certainly has run well in this ground over hdlles but hefting this 11-12 in the ground looks too much too me - good luck
