Verdict
The Masareti Kid gets the vote here with Word Gets Around and Pams Oak the main dangers. The selection loves it around here and he lost no caste in defeat last time on this track when finishing second behind Wee William. The drop in trip will not inconvenience him and he looks the one to be on. Word Gets Around finished fourth behind According To Pete at Kelso last time when he tired on his first outing since January. He is sure to come on for the run and will not be far away at the finish. Pams Oak was a fair third behind Heartstopper at Sedgefield and anything Sue Smith sends to post in these type of events is always worth a look in the market. Renvyle is returning from a short break and may prove best of the rest, but for the winner we will stick with The Masareti Kid.
