Track: Good 4 Weather: Cloudy

Open field. Current favourite InterestPoint should get a good run from barrier 1. Dee steers from the kind draw and this race is within reach. WonderBoy was super impressive on debut when not everything went its way and can go on with things in this. BlueStratum has made it two in a row this prep and can keep the ball rolling. Let’sfacethemusic has been well backed in early markets and is ready to win.

1. Blue Stratum (5)

Has made it two in a row and very hard to knock the upside of this quality runner. Clearly has come back a better horse this prep and can take the next step here.

2. Tarpaulin (3)

Scratched.

3. Interest Point (1)

Heavily backed in early markets. Should get the run of the race in this small field from barrier 1. A lot to like about current form including two wins and a very good second last start. Goes close.

4. Wonder Boy (2)

Highly promising runner who had nothing go right on debut but class came to the fore. Looks set for better races than this and is one of the main chances in this field.

5. Band Of Brothers (4)

Strong effort last start running third and the horse in front of it, Ndola, has bolted in since so the form looks good. Maps for a tidy run from barrier 4 and this race is well within reach.

6. Winchester (6)

Can’t have.

7. Let’sfacethemusic (7)

Well backed in early markets. Still a maiden but bumped into a smart one last start. Loaded with upside and well placed in this.
