With a clutch of horses rated in the 70's this looks a decent claimer and from a shortlist of Vegas Baby, Chocolicious and BILLY BEETROOT, it is the last-named who can leave his rivals red-faced. The selection has threatened to win in the majority of his starts to date but so far he has left the races empty-handed. He has not faced soft ground yet so rain would be an interesting problem, but he should have this race run to suit and is taken to lead them home. Vegas Baby won nicely last time and is considered at these weights, whilst Prize Point and Chocolicious come here in better form than most. Steamer is quickly dropped in grade, whilst Taste Of Honey may have found the ground a bit quick last time and she cannot be overlooked. The visor is tried on All Spin but it is Billy Bootroot who is narrowly preferred.
