Hamilton 4:30 Result

Empirestateofmind's recent form figures (995001) show a clear return to form culminating in a win, and crucially he ran just 2 days ago - meaning he's fit, sharp and the trainer clearly has him primed for a quick follow-up. Heavy ground and 1m1f suit; this yard (Quinn) knows how to place a horse to win again quickly, and a rapid reappearance after a winning run is a strong positive angle suggesting they think he's well-treated off 64. Jason Hart takes over which is a solid booking. Motawaared also ran 2 days ago with a progressive-looking sequence (654222) but hasn't actually won yet and is stepping up in trip/class questions remain about him getting it done, whereas Empirestateofmind has proven he can finish the job. Draupnir's form figures show inconsistency (537052) and Tee Aitch Aye's profile (076321) is progressive but the step up to this trip on heavy ground for a first-time-in-headgear runner (p) is unproven. Bradbury is interesting with a decent recent block of form (211636) but the 40-day layoff is a slight concern and he's up in weight/class as a confirmed course-and-distance type is unproven on this feature. Overall, the fitness edge and proven-winning-machine trait of Empirestateofmind, allied to quick backup, makes him the most solid combination of biggest source of confidence and fair market price.
