TOSULA can get punters off to a winning start at the main expense of Moon Melody and Morenito. The selection is no good thing here but she has been in decent form of late and she ran a sound race to finish third behind Quil Est Beau at Worcester earlier in the month. This slight drop in trip should suit and as she will handle the ground she looks the percentage call. In contrast, Moon Melody should be suited by this longer trip and he did go close at Newton Abbott a couple of runs ago over today's distance. Morenito is well handicapped on his best form but he disappointed again at Southwell earlier in the month and the cheekpieces replace the blinkers today. Uptown Lad was in good form earlier in the year but he has his limitations and he may have to settle for a place at best. We will stick with Tosula as the one to beat.
