Race Overview
O'WOOD (6) has had just one start this year and was not disgraced. He knows this course well and should strip fitter this time around. A solid pick to win the lucky last. SEREMINI (2) has been performing well on the PSF of late. He has also won on turf and looks a definite danger. INDIE BRIGHT (1) has struggled in handicaps but tends to do better at this level, so deserves respect. SABROSO (4) will be fitter for his recent run and could be ready to shine.

6 - 2 - 1
