Verdict

The experience of OSMI SLEW can come to the fore here and the consistent youngster can go one better than his recent second. Skinnersburg made the podium on the same card and has made a bright start to his career. Insofar also makes plenty of appeal.

Verdict

The ultra-consistent Lightning Flash accounted for the useful Venkman (second) and subsequent scorer Mad Luther (third) when successful earlier this month and is respected. However, preference is for JOEY B, who built on some fine efforts when a good winner over this distance a day later and could have more to come.

Verdict

Wild Wine was much improved when second last time, with the useful pair Beebe's Best Bet (third) and No U Turn (fourth) just behind on that occasion. However, preference is for O DRISCOLL, who has been a model of consistency in all outings baring his debut and looks to have leading claims here.

Verdict

JULIPS HOLD impressed with an emphatic 14-length win last time and could have lots more to come here. He is the pick of the recent winners on show and is preferred to Written In Red and Stylish Ninetynine, the latter justifying favouritism here when last seen.

Top Tip: Julips Hold (5)
Watch out for: Stylish Ninetynine (2)

Verdict

Hat-trick seeking pair Light Hearted and Pink Pajamas have to be given plenty of respect here. However, the pick of the recent winners on show could well be MARCHING IN, who impressed with a six-length victory earlier this month. Grace Appeal, My Time To Shine and Cat Lak are others to note in an ultra-competitive heat.
