A solid tempo on the cards with Rubunkar leading the way.
CHARTWELL (6) has hit a purple patch of form with a win and two seconds from his past three efforts and gets winning rider Stanley back in the saddle. Can continue the positive results. ROTH 'N' BUBBLE (7) loves racing at this circuit with three wins and five placings from just 11 starts. Cannot be discounted lightly. SPIRIT OF GIVING (8) has placed three of four over this track and trip and rarely puts in a poor one. Top-three commodity. RUBUNKAR (3) has two wins and two seconds from seven starts over this six-furlong journey and may make his presence felt again. AMNESTY (2) strips fitter second-up from the break and can earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,7,8,3.
