Verdict
The Groove won a less-competitive claimer over track and trip last month, with a below-par Lucky Lodge behind, though the latter has run better here subsequently. But STEELRIVER has every chance on these terms as he drops back down in class having won here the last time he competed in a claimer. Mujassam is not out of this either returning to 6f and is preferred to both Zapper Cass and Di Matteo but it remains to be seen if Penniesfromheaven can run up to her mark having been absent from the track since April last year.
