Verdict

One of the more lower-graded races on the card with Pammi considered after she posted an improved performance over C&D last time out on what was just her second start in a handicap. Rollerruler ran better than his finishing position would suggest when just failing to see out the trip last time out, but he should feature prominently returned to 2m4f. The selection is HIGHWAY COMPANION though, who despite failing to win in two starts since switched to the handicap sphere, the form of those two races is decent. This looks a weaker contest on paper than either of those previous two assignments and he should be up to winning this off top-weight.
  1. Highway Companion
  2. Rollerruler
  3. Pammi
