Keagan de Melo is enjoying the season of his life – here he receives his bonus cheque from James Rich of Winning Form after reaching his century of winners (Pic – Candiese Lenferna)
She stayed on at the finish over 1400m last time, but found one too good in the form of Edvige. The daughter of Canford Cliffs will be at home over the 1600m. She is a progressive type and from pole position, should take a power of beating in this line- up.
Doug Campbell saddles Crested Eagle in the lucky last race and he represents decent each way value.
He should have won his last start over this course and distance as he jumped over an object that was lying on the track at the 200m mark.
Rachel Venniker takes the 1.5kgs off his back once again and with a bit of luck in running, he is capable of notching up his third career victory.
