Anticipating a solid tempo over the mile. Tricky race. Hinges on the talented WOLFBURN (6) who has been well held in three runs over far sharper journeys. Finally gets to a trip he can win at and expected to improve sharply now in the right range. VENTING (5) beat a few of these last time when scoring over a mile. Meets the placegetters worse at the weights but fitter again, is a third-up winner and will be on speed and tough to beat again. OUR COUVER (3) is fitter for two runs back and placed behind Venting latest. Meets him much better at weights and should be at top now. ACTIVE DUTY (1) was runner-up in the same race and also meets the winner better. Super consistent and should be fighting out the finish. OKESUTORA (2) is having first run for new yard and looks a major player on best figures. SUGGESTED PLAY: Expecting a return to form for Wolfburn.
