Verdict

RONZEL RAFA (7) finished runner-up at his most recent outing, beaten a head, in a nice return to form at this track over 1 ¹/16m. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row but rates a leading hope in a similar assignment. ROCKNROLL LENNY (6) ran fourth last start here over 1 ¹/16m, beaten 5 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. CALF PEN (10) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1 5/16m at this circuit. Top-three credentials. STARVIN MARVIN (3) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw and may earn some minor money.
