The strength of this race is tough and I feel other horses may be too nippy for him over the short course..

Rattled home for a strong win last time and with natural improvement looks the hardest to beat today.

Couldn’t have been more impressive at first start and the 13/1 is great value if you are a punter.

Speed figures from her first start weren’t as strong as some of the horses she is facing today so I feel confident to leave her out today.
