Verdict

Modest race so looking towards the top of the page here. ASTRODEAN (4) has had one run back from a break and might be ready to win. He's drawn well and Jason Holder sticks. SMOKIN' EYES (5) is another that is second-up and will appreciate the rise to 7f. MAPLEWAY (1) never got into the race first-up. This looks a more suitable assignment and, from a nice draw with Rochelle Milnes in the saddle, he can settle closer. ENLIST (2) is a seven-time winner that has placed in three of his five starts at this track. He's got the form on the board and looks a top-three chance, while MY CRACKLING (6) is another place chance on his best form.
