Astrodome made hard work of it last time but may be able to defy a 6lb rise in the weights. Chookie Hamilton could be the one to take advantage if he fails to fire with Rudry World perhaps best of the rest. The selection needed plenty of driving to maintain his advantage last time when wearing blinkers for the first time and clearly isn't the easiest conveyance. This furlong longer trip will suit though and he has been found another weak race to contest so should take all the beating. Chookie Hamilton was doing all of his best work at the end of Ayr's ten furlongs on Saturday and he won over this trip earlier in the year so there are no concerns on the stamina front. He's in form, acts on the ground and should go well. Solid propositions amongst the remainder are thin on the ground but Rudry World came to life at around this time last year and may be able to leave his recent efforts behind but he will need to do so in order to be a factor. He may not be a star but it's hard to get away from Astrodome.
