Verdict

Astrodiva and Tapis Wizard have been impressive recently without finding a win but preference is for MATRAASH. The three-year-old was well beaten on his sole run last year and looks better with the winter behind him. He is a half-brother to four winners up to 1m4f and he will be in his element over this trip. He ran another excellent race when last seen and a victory for the Mark Johnston trained colt looks to be in the offing. Astrodiva was an eye-catcher on her debut last October. She is bred to get much further than this, another good performance is expected today and the future looks bright for her. Mick Easterby trained Tapis Wizard showed improved form back in third on his first test over a trip as long as this and if he can build on that performance then he should make the frame. Gwyre looks capable of showing a bit more after a decent run last time but breaking into the front three may prove difficult for the lightly raced filly. Debutant Real Desire could do well here and will appreciate the experience but Matraash looks difficult to oppose and gets the nod.
