Either Giacomo or Macthief should find the front and dictate terms. GIACOMO (3) was game in narrow defeat here last start in the same grade as this. Course proven here at home and has won on dry and wet. Looks the winner whatever way you slice and dice this small field. ESS VEE ARE (1) ran his best race for a while at his last start here. Looks the quinella in this field. Has won on dry and wet ground. PROCELLA (4) is a multiple-class riser. Competitive here for a place or the first four and the small field suits her racing style. SANTA CATALINA (6) is rising multiple classes here. Drops 3kg. Course placed and not the worst here by far. Same yard as the top pick. MACTHIEF (2) has been poor of late. Has won on dry and wet footing and could improve here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Giacomo is a win wager.
