Settle For Red finally got reward for consistency a fortnight ago when he had Punches Pious just over a length back in third but a 6lb rise makes things more difficult and the latter can reverse the form. Badger Daly is only slowly dropping in the weights and was behind Busalla when they ran into an in-form rival in Maontri a fortnight ago. It's a surprise to see the latter dropping in the ratings and he is on the shortlist. ELJOWZAH has been running well without quite getting there and this could be her chance to lose her maiden tag from her lowest ever mark. Wagadoogoochoochoo scored over this trip at Gowran and has run well enough over 1m3f on her two recent starts here to suggest she can get into the picture.
