In depth
Verdict
Deja Vu ran well over course and distance last time and can land this weak event from Allstar Leader and Ornella Speed. Howard Johnson's five-year-old finished a close up fifth behind Plutocrat in that competitive handicap and is well suited by the conditions of today's event. On official ratings the selection has six pounds in hand of Allstar Leader so should beat that rival . However the Irish contender should be good enough to reach the frame. Ornella Speed put in a decent effort behind Hot Weld over a longer trip here last time. If not inconvenienced by the drop in distance she should be able to make her presence felt. Zygomatic has been off the track for some time but could prove best of the remainder if fit, but Deja Vu can only improve on his recent run and is taken to land the spoils.
