Poor fare to start the card and PEAS IN A POD is our pick ahead of Fantasy Fighter and Wadnagin. Peas In A Pod has a first time visor after a recent fourth at Wolverhampton. Although a maiden, he still has enough form over seven to suggest that he will be a factor at this modest level. Fantasy Fighter ran a decent race here over five and is related to winning milers. Wadnagin is on something of a losing run. That said, her recent third at Kempton was a step up upon some of her more moderate efforts that we have witnessed during the summer. Keep Your Distance ran above expectations in a recent handicap over course and distance. Border Artist needs no introduction around here. Miss Okaloosa is tried in first time cheekpieces. Talamahana and Rambling Bob have had their moments though neither has proved themselves over the trip. A race that one would be quite happily stuck in traffic during and Peas In A Pod gets the most token nod.
