Straightothepoint (11/8), Tommy G (3/1), Royal Brave (5/1), Tylery Wonder (11/2), Rural Celebration (12/1), Aprovado (14/1), Invincible Ridge (14/1), Dark Defender (14/1)

A decent sprint which looks sure to be run at a good gallop with competition for the early lead more than likely, as there are several that like to go forward and that could set this for a closer. Straightothepoint, Tylery Wonder and Aprovado are three of the likely pace pushers and that could help the dropped back in trip Tommy G although he’ll need a real pace collapse to figure back 2f in trip. Rural Celebration will appreciate the ease in grade and a chance is taken that the strong travelling ROYAL BRAVE can improve again and complete a fine hat-trick.
