Jockey: Keagan de Melo
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 5 (11 Runners)

He didn’t settle in his last outing over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. Keagan de Melo rides from a handy draw of five and we are hoping to see him switch off early. It is a competitive field with numerous horses having decent winning chances. He is fit, well and can finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:85. Better than latest. Reunites with de Melo and can run into the money.

Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:83. Was not disgraced in latest and should strip fitter. Chance.
