Verdict

SHOW ON THE ROAD will take plenty of beating if the form book has this right. A 14L beating of Friday Night Light off level weights received a boost when that rival scored yesterday off a mark of 111. That makes the Hobbs' charge an attractive proposition in here off a mark of just 118. Legend Lady also looks on a fair mark, however that is taking into account form achieved two years ago and she has clearly had problems since. Acaro will find this easier than his last two runs against decent novices, but the Tizzard pair Lillington and The Brothers need to improve. Sea Wall has conditions in his favour, but is in danger once again of bumping into something that is more fairly treated. New headgear and tactics worked for Rainy Day Dylan last time, but there can be no guarantees the same will apply here.
