The C J Waller and Jason Collett combination is a significant positive. Well-weighted and drawn favorably, likely to improve second-up. Main concern is lack of experience, particularly on soft tracks and at this distance.
Walk Like A Man has been knocking on the door with consistent form. Drawn well and carries a light weight. Main concerns are the lack of a win to date and unproven soft track form. The step up in distance could suit based on racing pattern.
The Big Blue comes off a strong placing on a soft track and drops significantly in class. The wider barrier is a concern, but experienced jockey A Adkins should be able to overcome this. Main query is the step up in distance.
Consistent placer with proven soft track form and experience at the distance. Recent form is solid and the gear change (blinkers off) could spark improvement. The wider barrier and weight are concerns, but the mare's consistency makes her an each-way prospect.
