Pace from the fancied Avalon Downs. AVALON DOWNS was fair fresh over five furlongs but can improve sharply here. Extra trip suits and rates strongly. RED DAZZLE is racing well and among the chances again here despite the wide draw. MAYBE THIS TIME can run a cheeky race fresh while CHEVITE is ready to show bets after two runs in. SUGGESTED PLAY: Avalon Downs the one to beat over the extra trip.
