They will just hack along without a recognised on-pacer engaged. The feature of the day and class runner CASINO SEVENTEEN (1) appears the one to beat. Went back and never got a crack at them in the Diggers Cup on last start and this looks to suit him much better. He ticks plenty of boxes out in trip and from a better draw. He can return to winning ways. GHOBELLA (7) sprinted quickly in the Diggers Cup to beat home a few key rivals in this event and draws inside again today. She won't be phased by the rise in trip as she's a course and distance winner previously. Racing well and is a live chance. STARTRADE (2) is an interesting runner jumping right out in trip third-up and on the quick turnaround, though he is a genuine stayer. He's won 3/7 third-up and CJP hops back in the saddle. Contested all the good races over this trip in the spring/summer and can play a major role. PLAYING MARIKA (4) can be about the money third-up and with Steve Parnham in the saddle. BLAZING AWAY (3) is also worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Casino Seventeen gets the nod.
