The race pace here looks not too bad overall for a two-turn event. SOLIDIFY (2) is a dual victor here. Looks the winner here whatever way you assess the event. Wet tracker in the main. This is his race to lose. KENTUCKY ROSE (7) is a multiple-class dropper here. Down 3kg here too so very well in. Big chance for all of your multiples. POPTHEBUBBLES (8) ran a good race at last start. Has won third up. Trifecta and first four chance here for sure. BLACK QUEEN (5) was a big improver at her last start in what was her second run since coming here. Ready to score. Proven on dry and wet. Massive chance. RUA ROCKS (3) is a place and first four chance here. On pacer. A 3kg claim will help. SUGGESTED PLAY: Solidify and Black Queen are win wagers.
