Ravi River looks to have been found a good opportunity here and he is taken to score; the list of dangers is headed by Manuka Bee and Hasty Lady. The selection has got some respectable form in handicap company and he was only narrowly beaten in this grade last time out. A reproduction of that effort will surely suffice here and he is put forward as the confident pick. Manuka Bee was well beaten in a handicap here last time, but he had showed up well previously in maiden company. He remains unexposed and he should be suited by this drop in trip so he has to enter calculations. Hasty Lady is dropped into this grade for the first time today, but she has been disappointing of late and this is arguably not her best trip. Indecision hails from a shrewd yard and is worth a look in the market, but Ravi River should have too much for his rivals tonight and he is a confident choice.
