Sir Castleton and Starcho Libre look to take it up. HARRINO (1) has been a flashing light in all three runs back and should be at his very top tow fourth-up. If they can utilise the low draw he will take plenty of stopping. SCOOTATHEWOOTA (5) deserves a lot more respect than the market his giving him, producing solid efforts at long odds in his last three. Peak fitness now and doesn't need to improve much to land the winning blow. LUNAR VISTA (2) has enough early speed to cross from the sticky draw and give backers a sight. 1400m may be a stretch though. STARCHO LIBRE (3) was good when resuming off a long break at Clare. Vulnerable to a flat second-up effort but is worth respecting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Harrino to win.
