Not a very deep race to round out the day's proceedings with the leading market hopes expected to fight out the finish. Speed anticipated from All Too Much, Infathuated, Fo' Shizzle, Ignite The Sky and The Dankster. CRONKITE brought up the hat-trick at this track last start when again proving too strong late in the piece. Recorded a new career peak on that occasion and now appears set to relish the step up to the mile. Drawn well and should prove very hard to beat with the Wizard aboard. A competitive race for the lead likely with Chancery and Ignite The Sky along with All Too Much going forward. Several others won't be far away so should be a good tempo. INFATHUATED looks ready to win now after a few runs back from a break and he was very good in running second last time. Good chance. CRONKITE is hard to knock with three wins on end and he'll get every chance to be in the finish once more. Big threat. ALL TOO MUCH has been racing consistently all preparation and there's no reason he can't give a good sight up on the pace. Blackwood is capable of improving with the blinkers on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Cronkite saving on Blackwood.
