Few make any appeal though REECELTIC arrives in the best form having won over today’s trip at Lingfield before beaten only a short-head in a tougher contest at the same track. He looks worth sticking with back at this lower level. Reset Button has placed the last twice and failed to get a clear run at Southwell last time while Bass Strait may prove best of the rest on her second start for current connections.
