In depth
Verdict
Softly won very easily in similar grade last time out and looks set to follow up despite this being slightly more competitive. Desert City rates the main danger he will love the ground and has ran well in handicaps of late without winning and he should appreciate the drop to claiming company. Desert Air is also dropped in class and has more scope for improvement than others as he has only had three runs. Sculptor could also go well but he is not one to have complete faith in.
