Race Overview
DINOZAURE (1) has been running in better fields than this recently and can bounce back to beat these rivals. WALKA (3) returned from a break in good form and will be in the mix once again. UNIVERSAL WIND (4) has held his form nicely and will be competitive over this track and distance. TRUBLION (7) showed improvement in a claimer last time out but has had many chances to win a race and is more likely to make the frame this time.
Selection:
1 - 3 - 4
