From the wide gate Mayne can cross and lead a race without a great deal of pace on paper. MAYNE (10) didn't measure up at Listed level in the run before the spell, but the two starts to commence the career were good enough to feature in a race like this. Should find this assignment much more to his liking and a strong first-up showing would not surprise. IMPENDOR (6) will be rock-hard fit for this and gets 2kg off with the claim. Top-three hope. RASHFORD (7) has won two from three around this circuit and is usually thereabouts. In the mix while fresh. I AM A MARVEL (3) boasts a win here, draws low and gets plenty of weight off. Ticks a few boxes. TWYFORD (1) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mayne to return to the winners' stall.
