The race pace looks not too bad overall in this two-turn event. ROC DANCER (7) has produced good runs in her last two starts. Distance proven. One to beat here no matter the underfoot conditions. DEVOTED (4) is a quinella and trifecta must here. A 4kg claim today is also a big tick. XRATED (11) she has raced super in her last five runs. Wide draw but can cope for sure. Rider atop has not missed the top three on her. ALL SHOOK UP (6) he has not run a bad race in ages. Handles footing that is both dry and wet. Drawn out but can cope in this regardless. PONTARDAWE (5) was a Steeplechase trial winner since he last raced. Very fit and handles it dry and wet. Cannot be omitted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Roc Dancer and Devoted are win wagers.
