Verdict

SASSY MERLOT (2) is a multiple-class dropper after a Listed win at her last start. She can get the hat-trick too. Course proven. The mare has won on dry and wet ground so has all the betting bases covered. SPARTAN (6) he is a very consistent gelding indeed. Senior rider atop here. Class riser and drops 3lbs. Dual winner on the track. The main danger to the top pick. AMBERECHO (5) is a partial class riser. Course proven. After a 9lbs claim is right in this for your multiples. ROCKLAND (4) is a triple track winner. Class dropper. Can handle the 7lbs rise here. MAKABAR (1) is a class dropper. Triple track winner. Rider atop has won twice on the gelding.
