A small field that lacks a pacemaker.
AMELIORATION (3) has placed two from two over this track and trip and looks to be working up to a maiden victory. Strikes a very winnable contest here and shapes as the one they all have to run down. CONTINENT (2) wasn't too far off them when resuming at Ipswich and will appreciate the step up in trip now. Strips fitter second-up and looms as the main danger. EVADE THE GAME (6) has placed around this circuit and will be rock-hard fit for this. Top-three conveyance. KAMIGAMO (8) put in a career-best performance last time out and looks one for the exotics players. OAKFIELD GALAXY (5) next best in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Amelioration to shed the maiden tag.
