Moderate pace only with Quizlet leading Squander. Golly, they've set punters a task here. CHEEKY BLINDERS (7) has at least pulled out the odd good run in similar grade and presents apprentice jockey Ruby Lamont with possibly her best shot yet at a maiden career victory. Her 4kg claim will come in very handy. QUIZLET (2) is the only horse in the race who has placed in either of their last 2 starts and the low draw presents every opportunity to run up to the good effort two back, which would probably be good enough to win this. SLEEP DEPRIVED (3) has been freshened and returns to the track that was the scene of his lone career win. BELL'S BIGHOUSE (1) has been racing more consistently than most of his rivals and comes right into play from the inside gate. STATE OF MAINE (6) has lost her way a touch after a couple of placings in August but finds the right race to return to form and draws to land a nice run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cheeky Blinders each way.
