4/9

Romped home here a week ago and a penalty still gives him 5lb in hand of the mark he will be racing off next week. Unbeaten at this venue and hard to oppose.

5/1

Wolverhampton winner who has also run well here. No match for a progressive sort last time and a good chance he is meeting another better handicapped rival this evening.

Form: 621422

Australis^b²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 76

3/1

Showed a bit more last time at Newmarket with blinkers fitted but he again looked a lazy individual. May not be the best sort to side with in a battle of wills or tactics.

Forecasts

Brasca (4/9), Australis (3/1), Withoutdestination (5/1)

BRASCAscored with plenty of authority here a week ago and is now unbeaten at this venue. His revised mark from next week is 91 so a 6lb penalty leaves him with plenty in hand. The manner in which he quickened clear suggests he has the speed to overcome a slow pace should this develop into a sprint and he is hard to oppose. Australis is proving difficult to place and also looks a difficult ride given he tends to require plenty of pushing and shoving. Withoutdestination tends to be held up and has run well here previously, but he is on a career high mark and the likely favourite is undoubtedly much better handicapped.
