Verdict
Another watch the market race and SOUNDS OF JUPITER is our speculative selection ahead of Head Down and Pezula Bay. Ed Vaughan's charge has a top notch pedigree and is related to a number of winners. Admittedly, he is probably the type to be better for a little time but at the likely odds, we are prepared to get involved today. Head Down will be the benchmark for the assessor. Well backed a couple of runs ago at Kempton, there has been little to cheer for the long suffering backers. Pezula Bay is a half-brother to Easy Lover. The way he kept on on introduction suggests that he might act on this circuit. Symonette is one to note in the market as is Mick Channon's very well bred , Sky High Kid. Rebel City should appreciate the step up to seven furlongs though was slightly disappointing at Kempton last month. Wellesley was easy to back on debut and should have come on for the run. Sounds Of Jupiter is a token selection in a race that makes little betting appeal.
