There looks to be okay pace and pressure in this field from barrier rise. MESA VERDE (6) is having her first race left-handed. Proven fresh up. Wide draw. Can win no matter the footing. SWINDLE (10) was a trial winner late last month. Course placed. Wet tracker. COVERMEINSUNSHINE (5) is course proven. Close fourth here on Slow ground five runs ago. WINEXPRESS (2) class dropper resuming. Twice trialled so forward enough. RUE DE RIVOLI (11) fresh up. Senior rider atop. Fourth in a trial late last month. Wet ground would suit best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mesa Verde is a win wager.
