Verdict
Stringybark Creek has won eight races in his career, including over today's course and distance, though never from a mark this high. Ambient arrives in consistent form on the all-weather though he's never won in 25 starts while Saisons D'Or has only won over 7f on a tight track. Where's Jeff completed a double in Class 6 handicaps and shot up the weights as a result while Donnelly's Rainbow hasn't won since his debut back in 2016. MUSIC SEEKER probably prefers a bit further but was only beaten just over two lengths in a Class 3 handicap here in October. He showed good speed before weakening on his seasonal debut over 1m2f at Doncaster and will be ready for this.
