Verdict
Silvas Romana won over C&D last time from the same low draw as today but she'll do well to confirm running with sixth-placed MUSICAL VALLEY. The latter is better drawn here and re-opposes on much better terms. Middleton Flyer finished well behind from high stall in the same race and can also finish closer, but He's So Cool has been slowly away on both previous starts at this track and was tailed off last time. Bling King is dropped in class having contested a couple of Listed events and is another to consider.
