Verdict

Manners let SENSITIVE TO A SMILE (1) down last start but she had looked close to a win prior, coming from wider on the track than this for back-to-back placings. Should enjoy a soft run so is worth another chance. STAR INVASION (9) only beat one home last time out but there had been merit in his previous performances including a second at this venue two back. He is deserving of another chance in what looks a suitable race. SHAKEDOWN (4) will find this much easier than the last attempt and did manage a string of placings earlier in the campaign. WYPOUT (2) showed improvement for second last time, albeit a long way off the winner. Could progress further fourth up.
