5/1
TRAVIS WHEATLEY was an impressive winner from the front at Newcastle at the end of last month and he looks the one beat if proving as effective over this longer trip. Guchen arrives seeking a hat-trick under Aamilah Aswat and is shortlisted, alongside the well-treated Balboa.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: Of those forecasted with a better chance, Travis Wheatley could be most vulnerable in a race in which competition for the lead looks to be fierce: Such a hotly-contested pace as is on the cards here may be to the benefit of Balboa who is likely to make a challenge late.
Individual Price Hint: Summergrounds traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP twice and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 3 of its last 5 starts.
