Given she always tends to run well at this track, Amberine must have a chance after posting a rock solid effort on her seasonal reappearance when third over C&D. However, it looks wise to stick with those who are still open to further improvement. One who fits that profile is the progressive Pull Harder Con who gained a breakthrough win at the start of the month. A 5lb rise looks manageable and he should make a bold bid to follow up. The one who is more interesting though is GHERKIN who has improved for the switch to handicap company and can go one better after hitting the crossbar the last twice, including over C&D last time when only narrowly denied.
