Logi on course for Hamilton hat-trick
Logi and Jamie Gormley bid to build on their excellent strike-rate at Hamilton Park tonight.
The partnership, successful over the same course and distance on their last two visits, are among a field of nine declared for the Audi Fleet Team Handicap over six furlongs.
Logi’s Wetherby trainer Rebecca Bastiman said: “Logi is in terrific form at the minute and he gets on very well with Jamie. As well as their two wins Jamie was second on him at Hamilton in early May, the only other time he has ridden him. He’s been creeping up the handicap but he raced off higher before we got him last backend, so you never know as he’s still only four. The track, trip and ground suit and he actually won his maiden on the allweather at Wolverhampton.”
Among the opposition to Logi is Mark Johnston’s topweight Afandem who landed a Group 3 contest at Chantilly in 2016 when trained by Hugo Palmer. At one time, he was rated 107 and he races off a mark nearly 30lb lower tonight.
