BetMGM 80s Day Saturday 29 August Handicap
🤖 AI race preview
Lunario leads the pace appeal with a strong recent form, having won this race 12 months ago and springing a 33-1 surprise in a 7f Ascot handicap just 26 days ago, where he led from the front and maintained control through the final furlong; his RPR of 92, OFR of 73, and 130lbs carry weight despite a 5lb drop from last season’s winning effort. He is hard to oppose on the ground, with a 1W/4R record from trainer Luke Dace and a consistent ability to hold the lead under pressure, and his 5th draw offers a favourable position to take the early initiative. The main danger comes from Thursday Girl, who took a strong second in a novice at Nottingham 19 days ago and improved from a 2nd over 1m to a 1st in a 7f handicap, showing clear progression and a sharp RPR of 94; she also has a 1W/2R record on this course. Tavana, though unplaced in her last two starts, remains a value at the forecast price with a 2nd-place finish in a 7f Newbury handicap and a 135lbs weight that could see her struggle to maintain position in a field where early pace is likely.
