Scratchings have tale some of the pace out. LOPE DE WOLF made debut in a city maiden and was just edged out. Wouldn't have to improve much to claim this. NOW AND FOREVER has been thereabouts and overdue for a win. Rates strongly. WHITE HEATH was runner up latest and rates next best. ON FIRE can improve off debut effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lope De Wolf should go close.
