Race Overview
STRAKO (2) carries a penalty for a recent win in a Conditions race but is quite capable of doubling up to win this lucky last race. AFRICAN GREY (3) struggled last time out but had some good form before that and should be a serious threat. HANDHY (4) was not disgraced last time out and can contest the finish again. LUNATICOS (7) is consistent and should be in the mix of things as well.
Selection:
2 - 3 - 4
