Race Overview
A specialist in the claiming category, thriving ANONYMOUS (1) should continue his momentum and is good value to extend his winning run. ROYAL SAXO (3) has taken well to his new surroundings and wouldn't be winning out of turn after several near misses recently, so he'll make life difficult for the selection by fighting for victory. STORM CITY (5), returning MASCAPONE (12) and hard-knocker AMI SOLEDAD (2) appeal most of the remainder.
Selection:
1 - 3 - 5
