Tricky Class 6 apprentice race with plenty out of form sorts. SUND CITY disappointed as a short-priced favourite at Kempton last time out but she may have gone off too hard there and can gain compensation back at a course she has recently won well at. One of the more experienced apprentices takes the ride and if he gets on well with her, she may be able to shed her maiden tag. If Neil Mulholland has found any improvement in Just Fred in the two months he has had him, he could be very well handicapped. Cape Spirit has drawn poorly but holds every chance if overcoming that. 1. Sund City 2. Just Fred 3. Cape Spirit
