Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.63)  

Good pace from Tangoette, The Mariner and Padstow Polly who can get across. STANDUPANDFIGHT (2) finished out of the money two starts back, then was beaten 6 lengths when sixth over 1200m at Sale two weeks ago. He finds a nice race to return to the winner's enclosure. MR CHARISMATIC (1) began last campaign nicely finishing in the placings and can do the same here. VORES (3) won well on debut at Hamilton by 1.5 lengths. She lost form following that effort, but can return to form fresh here. She has not been seen at the jump-outs. TANGOETTE (5) was better last start after failing on the Heavy deck at Murtoa two back. Was in good touch to begin the campaign and a return to that form can see her go close. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Standupandfight
