Not a great deal of pressure likely in the small field, with Demon Award a potential leader. DEMON AWARD (11) saves his best form for this distance range with two wins and two placings from just five attempts and has been racing very consistently this time in work. Beriman has been in the irons for the last two placings and stays on top here. Should be going very close. TONNEOFGRIT (9) strips fitter third-up from the break, draws the inside marble and gets in well at the weights with the 2kg claim. Ticks a few boxes. WINSTON SMURFHILL (5) is a three-time winner around this circuit and will be near his peak now. Top-three candidate. CRAZY TRAIN (12) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Demon Award to win.
