Track: Soft 5 Weather: Fine

Even field engaged. Oxford Blue has good upside and comes off a strong last start win. Can measure up here. Lavalier has been around the mark this prep and does map for a good run in transit. Hot Too Go has been around the mark all prep and has put together back to back placings. Truth Or Dare also maps well and should be around the mark with Dee in the saddle in what is an even field.

1. Lavalier (3)

Brings in some good form, maps for a good run and hails from the strong camp. Should be giving this a shake from the kind draw.

2. Truth Or Dare (2)

Can bounce back from a modest effort last start. The stable are going well and maps for all the favours.

3. Oxford Blue (9)

Sticky draw to overcome but loaded with upside and likeable last start effort. Will go close in this field and goes on top with selections.

4. Hot Too Go (10)

Has put together back to back placings and should go close in this field with Lane engaged. Open race but this does suit.

5. Saint Emilion (11)

Can’t have.

6. Savvy Thinker (8)

Prefer others.

7. Hot Majesty (5)

Scratched.

8. El Paso (6)

Prefer others.

9. Akmo (4)

Can’t have.

10. Surat District (1)

This looks too tough.

11. Rotating Soul (7)

Leaning to others.
