In depth
Verdict
Most of these are maiden claimer winners looking to improve on moderate recent efforts including CPL. DIONICIO. The latter faded in the homestretch last time but has a more favourable draw today and gets a tentative vote representing the meets leading yard. Threeninetytwo looks no nearer winning at this level while Majestic Melody returned a losing favourite on his first start after a lengthy absence and is drawn on the outside today along with recent maiden winner Little Guy.
