BEST BETS

HIGHSTRUNG (Race 2 No.11): Led until the last stride around this course second-up. Fitter for that and should be in this for a long way from barrier three.

MARTIAL MUSIC (Race 8 No.1): Martial Music raced on the speed and fought on well in a close finish at Sandown last time. He’s down in class and has the perfect draw.

VALUE BET

EVERETT (Race 5 No.7): Hasn’t raced for 18 months but has trialled well leading up to her return. She could show something at odds first-up.

LAY OF THE DAY

ADELANTE (Race 5 No.6): Gave a start before running on well but fell short on this track last time. She’s drawn poorly and is likely to give a start again over the same course.
