In depth
Verdict
Speedie Rossini has the best recent form on view and can step up a gear in an awful race, with Houdini Bay and Fransiscan put up as potential threats. If ever there was ever an example of typical Banded racing then this is it, with even the selection having finished stone last on two of his five career starts to date. However, there may be light at the end of the tunnel as he was not beaten far into second on his first visit here nine days ago. That was the second time that he had worn blinkers, and with the step back up in trip to help, he can prove best of a bad bunch. As for the rest, Houdini Bay finished second in selling company at Ayr in May, while Fransiscan has been tried in a visor and cheekpieces without success to date. In a race best swiftly forgotten, Speedie Rossini is the pick.
