12/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap (8/1) at this course (10.7f) 14 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Significantly back down in trip. Visor back on. Won here on penultimate start so she may bounce back.

5/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2020. 33/1, turned in his best effort for quite some time when second of 10 in handicap at this C&D 32 days ago. Well treated if able to back that effort up so he's high on the shortlist.

8/1

Form: 608-707

Forecasts

Mullacash Buzz (16/5), Maccliff (4/1), Capla Knight (4/1), Inductive (5/1), Brokers Tip (5/1), The Bog Bank (13/2), Sir Dotti (15/2), Maestro Stick (8/1), Miss Cunning (12/1), Above Us Only Sky (14/1), Designer Cailin (16/1), Accessory (20/1), Kaswarah (20/1), Zanabad (25/1)

Several in with chances but INDUCTIVE turned in his best effort for quite some time when runner-up over C&D last month, the reapplication of blinkers seemingly the catalyst. He's well treated if able to back up that effort so he gets the tentative verdict. The Bog Bank, Capla Knight and Above Us Only Sky are just a handful of possible dangers.
