A race that really lacks any strength in depth with very few if any improvers in the field and it probably offers a good chance to GALVESTON to get off the mark with his run (until falling) last time out some of the best form on offer here. Pikarnia looks to be the main danger with this trip sure to suit and then it becomes a test to find anything that may well outrun their odds and that could be Bridane Rebel or Instingtive whose trainer has a good record here.
