Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 78

5/1

Made a winning seasonal debut over 1m2f at Beverley (good-to-firm) in April. Some decent efforts in defeat since and drop in trip should suit having finished 8L fifth over 1m6f at Sandown (good) last time out.

Forecasts

Agent Basterfield (4/1), Mister Chiang (4/1), Fraser Island (5/1), Htilominlo (7/1), Black Kalanisi (8/1), Fields Of Fortune (9/1), C'Est No Mour (10/1), Ravenous (10/1), Final Rock (12/1), King Of The Sand (12/1), Zoffany Bay (12/1), Overhaugh Street (14/1)

OVERHAUGH STREET can follow up his recent Chester success with a victory in this competitive handicap contest. The selection has run well over this distance in the past and he can get the better of the hat-trick seeking Mister Chiang who is another to have won over further on his most recent appearance. Agent Basterfield has shown a liking fort his venue in the past and he can take third.
