Slick pace with Pow Wow finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. KARMAN LINE (2) won well here at his last start. A 2kg claim here helps his cause in this markedly as only up 1kg in total. Proven on dry and wet footing. DUSTY ROAD (1) he is a multiple class dropper resuming. Has never missed the top three fresh up. Dual course winner. Trial second earlier this month. Obvious chance. WITZ END (7) was not too bad a run fresh up at all. Has won second up before. Proven on dry and wet ground as well. LUX LIBERTAS (4) is a class dropper in this. Five runs here for four wins and a placing. Likes wet ground. PERICLES (9) he ran well fresh up for fourth. Course winner. Drawn wide. Winning 1kg claimer atop. SUGGESTED PLAY: Karman Line is a win wager.
