A step up in trip should help ROUGH ROCK overcome his 6lb penalty and follow up on a staying on late win last time out. The selection loves this track and shouldn't be inconvenienced by the cut in the ground. Moody Tunes was a convincing winner in claiming company last time but will find life tough now back handicapping while Youm Jamil and Sennockian Storm will be looking to build on maiden successes. Mark Twain is running well but still just looks to be in the grip of the assessor so Rough Rock gets the vote to follow up.
