BANANA PEPPER is the one to beat in this opener on his form at Turfway Park around the turn of the year, though he was a disappointing favourite at Mahoning Valley last month. Let It Rip never figured on his track debut here earlier in the month but that form has worked out well. He has only half-a-length to find with Shattered Dreams and will strip fitter today. Run For Matty is probably improving and holds Whatatrip on the form book.
