Pace looks to be genuine with Bergasun and Avenues matching motors in advance of She Said and Moveen. Not a lot went right for PRINCE OF BYRON (2) and the claimer aboard last time. Drew well but got buried in the ruck and had to go back and circle very wide. Previous form rates very well for this and a senior rider goes aboard. Give another chance. AVENUES (3) has been runner-up at both this time in. Peaks now, extra trip a plus and can go one better. Super consistent type aided by the claim and did win only try track and trip. SHE SAID (8) was a winner this grade two back then an eye-catching run in tougher company last time. Well placed back a couple of classes. CHRISTMAS (4) doesn't have many of them but overall form good enough for this. At peak after the three runs in and does have a good record this circuit. LUCKYHELEFT (1) has been finding the line nicely and is another close to a win. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prince Of Byron with the senior on.
