Hot pace certain with Garrucha, Strike Eagle and Arrogant Miss keen to take up the running.
GARRUCHA (1) delivered the goods as favourite here just over 4 weeks ago and a brief freshen-up will do him no harm. He is at his best over this trip and with only 1.5 kilos more to carry this time, he should make it 2 wins on the bounce. SUPER FAMOUS (3) was a brave third in a tougher field last time out and even though there were only 4 other rivals, he was still less than a length from the winner. That was his first run back on this track after campaigning further South this prep and he will be better for it. Stick with him. Can win. ARROGANT MISS (4) is a tough local mare who pretty much does all her racing on her home track. She is normally at her most competitive at this level and with the aid of a 3-kilo claim, she is perfectly placed to bounce straight back into the winners' circle here. STRIKE EAGLE (2) has yet to win in 9 starts on this track but has been placed on 8 of those occasions. His form is holding and he will give another honest account of himself. SUGGESTED PLAY: Garrucha to win.
