York Tip: Hotham
Placed in 50% of his visits to the track, including second over course and distance two runs ago.
The 6.30 at York is going to be run in soft conditions. With the going stick giving a reading of 5.5, we are in soft territory and perhaps even worse. When faced with these conditions you need to focus on horses who can act with give underfoot.
Having won on heavy going, conditions should not inconvenience Hotham. A frustrating individual he is very hard to predict. The one track where he shows any consistency is York. In the ten times he has raced on the Knavesmire, he has two wins and three placed efforts; making it his favourite track.
Two runs ago he finished a close second over course and distance. He would have been even closer if not squeezed for room in the last furlong. He should get the strong pace he craves and is good enough to win this if putting his best foot forward.
