It would be surprising if AESTIVAL has finished his winning and although Penang Cinta goes well at this track Sir Mark Prescott's charge retains the vote while the on form Vertueux is an obviously danger. Looking typically progressive when upped in trip and switched to handicaps the selection put together a hat-trick including scoring at this track. He was well held off this mark last time but the break may have not been in his favour and he should still be running big races off this rating. Penang Cinta has won four of his eight starts at this venue and now that the David Evans runner is back down to his last winning mark he has a real chance. Vertueux receives weight from all here so despite only scrapping home last time out he could go well despite a 6lbs mark rise. Hawaana is nothing if not consistent but has a bit to prove under this weight so in a good race Aestival is given another chance to score.
