Verdict

MICHAEL CAINE (1) has been racing well of late. Finished fifth at his latest appearance over 1m at this track, beaten 7 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can take care of this line-up. SIR KNIGHT (3) ran fourth last start at this track over 1m, beaten 7 metres. Expected to run well. KISS ME MINI (10) is a big chance after debuting with a solid win last time out over 1m at this track. VESPA STRIDE (2) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1m at this track.
