Possesses winning form at this track; seems to be improving based on last two runs; finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (4½l) here over 1m1f (handicap) last month; this just his second run in a handicap; he's an attractive contender if duplicating the form of his most recent win.

Verdict

A pretty evenly matched field but SAND SCRIPT is put forward as the selection. She has got a win to her name and is hard to ignore if forgiven a modest most recent effort. Thoonsil needs to be considered, Romeo's Magic looks an obvious danger to the tip, and the otherwise interesting Terrence has a stamina query to answer at this trip.
