Standish Handicap 2025 Preview
Track: Good 4 Weather: Fine
Open field engaged. Pereille comes up favourite. Very hard horse to catch but has been close to winning of late. WonderBoy is well placed in this field. Looks a big hope from barrier 1 and can resume a winner. It’sourtime loves racing here. AztecRuler has a wide draw but should be in the mix here in what is a wide field.
