Race Overview
This is another wide-open handicap and cases can be made for several runners. However, it could be worth siding with veteran ASTURIAS ROAD (10) whose 3 career victories were all achieved over this course and distance. BARBUDA (3) is, like the selection, also favourably positioned in the starting stalls, so has legitimate ambitions here on her seasonal reappearance. TWO TWO TWO (5), although out of sorts, isn't incapable of making her presence felt either, having finished 4th over track and trip last year off a mark 4kg higher than her current rating. SWEET AS (4) and JAVA JAMES (12) appeal most of the remainder and are competitive for the places.
Selection:
10 - 3 - 5
