Verdict
Orlando Rogue has been running well in claimers and should be thereabouts while Falconize and Scot Daddy may improve now handicapping but will need to if they are to figure. GUIDING LIGHT also needs to dig a bit deeper but has been competing in tougher races than this for the most part and won his maiden at the track last year. He is preferred to recent Brighton runner-up Spirit In Time, who is stepping up in class today.
