Reasonable tempo with Order To Charge probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. BRUTAL BOWLER (6) backs up quickly after chasing home an in-form galloper at this track last week. Has the rightt form to run well again in a winnable race. Goes on top of TAPA KICK (3) who has been given a freshen up and only missed a cheque once in fourteen starts. Fresh record is strong and is a versatile galloper. Hard to hold out despite the weight and a wide draw. SCHOLL DEEP (13) is the other one that is going to be well fancied. Finished off strongly when beaten under a length last time here. Worth considering again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brutal Bowler top pick.
