Oskari ran well on a return to action last month but we tip MISS GLITTERS to shine here and get the better of the gelding. The selection is related to numerous winners, most notably her stables former smart sprinter Ruby Rocket. She posted a very encouraging debut effort last time and despite running green should be all the better for the experience. Oskari had shown some ability when a modest third on his second start here in October. His best performances have come over this course. He ran in second last time out putting in a much improved effort. He is clearly a late developer and there could be even better to come from the four-year-old. Flaming Blaze makes his career debut today and can make the frame here in such modest company. The three-year-old's yard has done well with his type in the past and he should fare well here. Quiet Mountain also makes his debut here but a finish outside the minors looks likely. A market check is advised for a race such as this but we are going to side with Miss Glitters.
