Gold Souk^t,v¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Joshua Bryan| T: D Steele| OR: 65| CD

17/2

Visored for 1st time, won 13-runner handicap (25/1) at this C&D 14 days ago by head from Billy Roberts. Suspect he'll do well to follow up off 3 lb higher given his profile.

Form: 523601

Light Up Our Stars^h¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65| CD

9/2

Didn't need to improve to win 13-runner handicap (11/2) at this course (8.6f) 14 days ago, always holding on. Rated higher in the past and could go well again.

Form: 655721

Ricksen^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Philip Prince| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 64

8/1

Maiden. 9/2, good 2 lengths third of 13 to Light Up Our Stars in handicap at this course (8.6f) 14 days ago, hampered. Clearly merits consideration off a handy mark.

Forecasts

Invincible Soldier (9/4), Light Up Our Stars (9/2), Billy Roberts (13/2), Like Sugar (7/1), Ricksen (8/1), Gold Souk (17/2), Tio Mio (10/1), Nuble (20/1), Boy In The Bar (22/1), Gold Standard (33/1), Astronomic Choice (40/1), Her Way (50/1), Arsonist (80/1)

INVINCIBLE SOLDIER is usually well found in the betting and wasn't disgraced behind Gold Souk here last time. He's worth chancing again with Adam Kirby back in the saddle. It's a competitive handicap though, with Light Up Our Stars and Ricksen closely matched on their latest runs here, and Billy Roberts also fancied.
