Only a small field with Earl Of Devon likely to find a comfortable lead. CAPE CRUSADER (1) loves racing over this track and trip with two wins and four placings from just six attempts and should get all the favours from the inside marble. Gets plenty of weight relief with the 3kg claim and is sure to give backers a sight. EARL OF DEVON (6) has a win and a second at the past couple over this course and distance and is another to get some weight off. Rates a serious contender. ONOMATOPOEIA (2) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top-five at his past ten starts. Top-three credentials. WHO ORDERED DAFISH (3) has placed two from three around this circuit and may earn some minor money. FAST LADY (5) rounds out the selections in an open affair. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,6,2,3.
