Small field and the speed looks to be controlled by Pepper Mill and Overtheriver. Small field for a 30K Open Handicap but has assured pace in Overtheriver, Maybe Miami and Pepper Mill so no surprise then that they are the top three picks. OVERTHERIVER has not won here before but can correct that current six placings from eight course starts. Handles all types of footing and at 58.5kg after a claim is well in. PEPPER MILL was placed in this class fresh up and remarkably has the same weight today. Obvious include. MAYBE MIAMI would love a wet track. Sure to turn for home right in this and for one so consistent of late she is nicely in on the minimum of 54kg. Another Coup a big improver second up and a senior rider gets on that has won atop her before. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Pepper Mill.
