135 Ludlow-This is a good race and several have chances.
Venitia Williams has trained the winner of this race 5 times in the last 10 years,so her Gardefort has to be respected but its failed to complete in its last 2 chase starts.
Baltimore Rock has come in for early support and could possibly hold a class edge if it can match its best hurdling ratings,over fences but theres little juice left in its price.
Going Concern has a very patchy record but was running well until coming down late on last time,however it is 0w-0p-3r at this track and is passed over on that score.
The value lies with Colins Brother,who only won a 4 runner race last time but was very well supported and won with tons in hand.
The rating and speed figure suggest it has more to come after only 4 chase starts and I would have it at least half its current price.
Back Colins Brother 7pts at 6.5 at betbright-Won(+37.5pts)Looked a big price 4 out and did get a bit of luck with a faller but came home very strong and won nicely in the end.
