Race Overview
THE TOP GATSBY (1) is the best in the race but is returning from a break so her fitness will need to be taken on trust. She can win this lucky last race. COMMANDER'S WAY (8) is fit and in good form so should not go down without a fight. SWIFTWAY (2) is not reliable but could make the frame if at best. DEPUTY RULER (4) is on a workable mark on handicap debut and could contest the finish too.
