A low-grade sprint handicap to kick off proceedings. Extrasolar won this event last year, and hinted at a return to form recently when improving on all his recent exploits to finish runner-up in a seller. He is dangerous to dismiss as is Somewhere Secret who enjoyed a productive time of things last month and displayed his ability to cope with various conditions ground-wise. He has every chance, but this can go to VENTURA SECRET who proved his neck-second at Hamilton to be no fluke when he ran another consistent race behind the progressive Caustic Love recently and provided he runs to that level again, he should prove hard to beat.
