10/3
Course record around here reads really well and he's won a handicap of 70 (7f) and a claimer over C&D. Has won for this rider and he's not that badly off at the weights here with the majority of the field.

Yet to run on this surface and although he has won in this grade his form the last twice in claimers leaves a bit to be desired. Has a chance at the weights but his recent form needs improving n to take a hand here.

10/11
Won her maiden over a mile on the Fibresand last year and has run one other decent race on the surface. Won a weak handicap on her penultimate start on the Tapeta at Newcastle over a mile and struggled off a 5lb higher mark here over 7f last time out. Given her mark she's well off at the weights but the trip does look a little on the short side.

6/1
Consistent sort who has run well over this C&D before registering a win in a handicap off 67. Refound his form in a Newcastle claimer last time out with the cheekpieces back on (worn that headgear for his last two wins). Nicely in at the weights but does have the handicap of stall 1 to overcome.

Forecasts

Dusky Dawn (10/11), Vroom (10/3), Yeeoow (5/1), Ticks The Boxes (6/1), Viva Verglas (6/1), Harwoods Star (14/1)

Verdict

A competitive race of its type and Dusky Dawn could well appreciate the drop in class with Ticks The Boxes also given a chance but having a tricky draw in stall 1 to overcome. Viva Verglas should be a home in this grade but the consistent VROOM despite heading the weights looks the best value here given how well he goes at this track.
  1. Vroom
  2. Dusky Dawn
  3. Viva Verglas
