JAKE THE SNAKE and Electric Warrior are the two to concentrate on here with Willkandoo best of the remainder. Jake The Snake faces a tough task on official ratings but it may not be wise to pay too much attention to them and he's in great form at present. His two recent wins have come at Kempton but he has proven form at this track too. Electric Warrior has been a credit to his connections and landed his sixth all-weather success over course and distance last time. He has rock solid claims and would be a worthy winner. Willkandoo struggled in a strong handicap last time but he should retain enough ability to be effective in this company even if his current mark is probably inflated. The remainder are hard to fancy against some useful types in a claiming contest and we'll take Jake The Snake to go in again.
