Only a small field but there should be a solid tempo with a few unraced runners engaged. GOLDEN OCTAVIAN (2) resumes off two tidy, heavily bet efforts at the track. He's sure to have come on, and Wiggins sticking aboard is a decent push for his chances. Uses the rail and will take beating. POINT TWO (6) switched from a Beaudesert stable and folded up from the front here two weeks ago. She was on a 26-day return and will present fitter. She's likely to stick on a lot better.ITCHEDINMANHATTAN (3) led and disappointed third-up, but she went close here the two prior, over this distance. Peaks, and she is worth another chance. FOREHAND DRIVE (5) debuts and is likely to have more ability than the trail finish suggests. SUGGESTED PLAY: Golden Octavian appeals.
