Tinnarinka must be a major player given her fine run last time and gets the nod ahead of Joy And Pain. The selection seemed to appreciate the step up in trip when second on her reappearance but given her old form from 2006, this try at a mile should not be a problem. She should have come on for that run and should be capable of landing that first success. Joy And Pain is consistent and should be on the premises again. He ran well in second last time against Ever Cheerful however this mark of 62 just stretches him slightly. Daniel Thomas returns from a break but with his strike-rate he should only be backed if he is gambled on whilst Trivia is held by Joy And Pain on their last run. Scarlet Flyer doesn't win as often as he should but he is unexposed in this sphere and ran well last time out. An open race, but Tinnarinka can come out on top.
