16:45 Thirsk — Race Preview & Tips

We're tipping Military Leader in the 16:45 at Thirsk — a Flat race with 6 runners on Good going.

A look at the form — 3242-1132 — reveals winning form that is hard to ignore.

Phillip Makin has been in fine form and teams up with P. J. McDonald, a combination that demands respect.

These conditions — Good ground over — look tailor-made for the selection.

Key angle: Consistent — placed 5 of last 5 runs.

An official mark of 70 looks workable in this grade.
