CWM RHONDDA is in good form and she can win again at the main expense of Antigua Sunrise and Cascata. The selection is a progressive filly and she won well last time out when she got the better of Extremely So at Yarmouth. She was given a confident ride that day and she does shape as though she is still one step ahead of the handicapper. Antigua Sunrise finished third behind Summer Gold at Yarmouth last month but this drop in trip is a big negative for her as her best form has been over 1m4f. Cascata was returning from a break last time so she should strip fitter for the run and she is having only her fourth outing so she remains open to improvement. Island Music is stepped up in trip but she has a poor strike-rate and the percentage call is to take her on. We will stick with Cwm Rhondda to make it back-to-back wins.
