A long time since its only winning run but the fact that Myers has persevered with it is a good sign. And tight in the market considering it hasn't run for 20 months ... that's of interest. Stable apprentice brings the claim, and rails draw

28 start maiden but that's not what it seems. Has run 4 seconds and 3 of them in its last 4 starts. Best assessed on that and with Bruno taking over, he can get a deserved win for the connections. Rails draw to advantage

Despite its maiden status, there can be only one winner of this race if this one runs up to recent form, in our opinion. Five seconds from 8 starts and finished well to just miss when stepped up to 1950m last time. This 2100m will be just perfect
