A solid tempo on the cards with Dwayne taking charge. GOLDEN SMILE (10) has been very genuine in three starts this campaign and should handle anything sodden. Back to home track and up in trip rates a genuine threat. DWAYNE (3) has held his own in three starts this time in and two recent runs at a mile give him a tough legs edge. With a four-kilo drop looks all set for a winning effort. TEMPRANILLO (12) fought on well first up as an untapped talent. Jumps sharply in trip here but can pay to follow. SO SUAVE (7) could surprise at odds after a trial and mid-distance run of late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Golden Smile each way.
