OVERVIEW: OWEN THE SAINTS (3) looks well suited here, dropping back in grade and well drawn to map positively over the short trip at a track where he has a good strike rate. His last four starts have been against much better-quality opposition, where he's acquitted himself well. He can afford to be assertive against these and prove hard to beat.

KEAYANG SANTIAGO (6) is a quick beginner and will be hustling for the top here over the mile. He tends to overdo things and knock up late, but with a positive map, he has claims. OUR CHEEKY DEVIL (1) is a veteran who may not have great numerical form, but he'll appreciate this set-up from the inside draw. The shorter trips are where he runs best, and he's a great value play for the exotics. ATOMIK GO ANNA (8) is a 2yo filly who gives away experience here, but she does have ability. The issue is that she can't draw a barrier at the moment, although she's going okay. MAJOR ORION (10) was disappointing last time but was a winner prior after a succession of solid performances, so keep him safe despite the draw. LEONARD (7) can show good speed but will need plenty to go right to secure a decent map.

BACK: OWEN THE SAINTS (3) – 2 units (win)
