Plenty of deadwood here and this is definitely a race to treat with a cautious approach. However, Rocinante has been holding his form well this season and may be worth another go to small stakes here. Lady Liesel and Neutral Night has claims at the weights and will be interesting if supported, whereas Patandon Girl cannot be ruled out of a bold show despite her having more than her fair share of weight to carry. The booking of Jimmy Fortune also catches the eye for Rocinante and the John Quinn-trained three-year-old is taken to exploit what could prove to be a very lenient mark of just 53 for this modest finale.
