Plenty of pressure from Aethelwulf, Pick A Pomodoro and Matts Rocket battling for the lead over O Space O. PICK A POMODORO (1) was in the firing line on the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1900m at this track. Has placed 4/7 this circuit. Likely improver with strong prospects. GREY WARRIOR (2) is still a maiden after 10 starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track two starts back before finishing fourth over 1900m at this track last time. Should be in the mix. O SPACE O (3) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AETHELWULF (4) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out.
