Solid early tempo with Doctor Coto and Squad capable of leading the way. SOJU (5) is fresh for this having won nicely when favourite at this track and distance last start in a similar race. Strikes another winnable affair and maps for every chance just behind the leaders. SQUAD (1) is the interesting one. His best figures would win this but he hasn't shown it for a while. He was just fair at his first run for the new stable but this is much easier. MR TICKLES (3) should be running on late while DOCTOR COTO (9) was good here last time and could give some cheek. SUGGESTED PLAY: Soju to win.
