Verdict
A minimum stakes play on Romeo's Day is recommended as he bids to confirm recent form with Port Sodrick and Soviet Scepter. Others to bear in mind are: Defana, who came good in a similar race at Redcar a fortnight ago and makes the long journey down from Durham to be the sole representative for Michael Dodds on the card. Tizi Ouzou, who is a rare runner in a seller for John Dunlop is another to bear in mind if supported. However, as she has only raced three time so far and made no impression in her completed starts, she is one to be wary of today. Port Sodrick and Soviet Scepter where well held by the selection at Yarmouth twelve days ago and is hard to see them reversing the form on these terms. So Romeo's day is given the nod to finally rid himself of the maiden tag in a race that makes limited appeal from a punting point of view.
