Drumshambo can't get much lower in the weights and this looks a bit easier than recent tasks so he's preferred to stablemate Rosa Fleet. Veroce was found wanting at Newcastle when chasing a hat-trick off today's mark so this can go to SAN PIETRO, who only won a three-runner race here on his debut under Rules. There should be plenty more to come from the former pointer, who hasn't been unduly punished by the handicapper. Cardinal Rose goes well fresh so an absence since December is not a worry.
