In depth
Verdict
A race to be wary in with a few of these runners seemingly keen to hang on to their maiden tag. Roman King, for his consistency, looks the best bet and deserves to win a race sooner rather than later. He may prefer things slower. Equiname failed to show the promise he showed last season in his seasonal outings to date but will appreciate this step back in trip. Tina Thyne looked as though she was returning to form last time out and could pick up some prize money while Martin Pipe's runners (Blue Momma) are always respected here.
