DAAFR blew any chance of winning with a poor start over 6f here earlier in the week. He gets another chance having beaten runner-up Fieldsman by seven lengths over track and trip before that as he is due to be raised by more than today’s 5lb penalty in the future. Native Silver won a lower grade contest here last time while Tilsitt beat a subsequent winner at the track recently and both are preferred to plating winner Defence Treaty. Novice winner Dulcima looks a threat on her handicap bow and Mosakhar drops back down in class.
