In a competitive contest to end the day we'll take a chance on QUITE A FELLA on handicap debut with Action Impact looking strong and Rydale Ovation could also figure at a bigger price. It's tricky to know whether the mark of 75 allotted to the selection is truly fair but it seems so on the surface. A solid debut in a bumper was followed by a comfortable success in an average maiden where the form is ok at best. That said the second placed horse has gone on to place off a mark of 68 so it puts our pick's rating in a good light. Action Impact has a decent record at this track and ran on well on his only attempt at this trip last time showing stamina shouldn't be an issue. The other plus arising from that run is that his mark seems fair. Rydale Ovation seems to always run his race and is now three pounds below his last winning rating; given that a double figure or close looks value. Cosack Prince likes this trip recording two wins from two starts over it. The form from his last time out victory is working out well but his mark looks high enough. It¿s not an easy one to finish with but Quite A Fella looks best.
