7/1

Nineteen runs since last win in 2019. 20/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 25 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Should get a lot closer today.

Forecasts

Sir Joseph Swan (7/2), Marie Paradis (9/2), Pilot Wings (11/2), Wirraway (13/2), Purple Paddy (7/1), Mr Mac (8/1), Uther Pendragon (9/1), City Escape (10/1), Dusk Chorus (40/1), Ocean Wilde (40/1)

This shouldn't take much winning and it might be best to side with the lightly raced WIRRAWAY. He's improved steadily in two handicap runs and he may be able to make a mark at this level. Purple Paddy didn't have much go right over C&D last month and he should get closer today. Mr Mac can never be ruled out round here either.
