Pertemps Networks, Epic and Desert Vision are all penalised for recent wins but this isn't a particularly strong handicap and it would be no surprise if any of the trio followed up today. Richard Fahey saddles Red Jade, who is closely matched with Alsahil on last month's C&D running, as well as the potentially well-treated Trip The Light while a case could be made for Veiled Applause, though he's struggled to see out this trip in the past. Dancing Primo's wins have all come in lesser company and Overrule has become disappointing so we'll give another chance to BOWSERS BRAVE. The five-year-old is much-improved lately and, though his stamina has to be taken on trust, he gets on well with Katia Scallan and is less exposed than most.
