Very few solid options in this low-grade handicap and it may well provide an opportunity for STAR ASCENDING to follow-up his recent C&D win despite the 5lb higher mark. Dream Serenade has proved that she can act on this surface but looks far from straightforward while Tred Softly needs to find some form having run poorly of late although he did finish third over C&D on his only try here. Ochos Rios hasn’t run here before and it takes a leap of faith to support him but he faces some fairly limited rivals in this and he along with the mare Pantomime may be worth taking a chance with in a race that will take little winning.
