None of these inspire confidence and both Great Colaci and Isntshesomething have struggled since winning over today’s trip earlier in the year. Masquerade Bling has been placed on more than one occasion this season and is fitted with first-time headgear today so DARVIE gets a speculative vote. He drops back down in class and should figure with a repeat of an earlier defeat at Redcar when only beaten a neck and finishing ahead of Regal Decree.
