SAVARONOLA may be worth risking here ahead of Colourful Move, who has obvious claims, and Three Strings who failed to hit the right note last time. The ex-Irish gelding carries the famous colours of Barney Curley which may not be seen on the track in future but can be carried to success at least one more time before the owner signs off. The selection arrived with a rating of 75 but has been dropped to 65 following his run in a maiden over course and distance where he was behind Colourful Move. He's entitled to have come on for that outing and could fare better now handicapping. He will need to in order to reverse the form with Colourful Move as he has a couple of lengths to find and is worse off at the weights. Trans Sonic has it to prove over this trip and Raquel White on this track unlike course and distance winner Three Strings who could fare better than he did last time as this company appears to be a little less taxing. A market check is advised before siding with the selection but Savaronola could be interesting here.
