UBATUBA seemed to relish the emphasis on stamina when forging clear for a wide-margin success on his hurdling debut over C&D early last month and, with conditions set to be similarly testing, he's fancied to defy a penalty at the first time of asking. Starzand is a promising rival and is sure to pose a big threat if coping with the quick turnaround, while Skuna Bay warrants respect back over the smaller obstacles, too.

Ubatuba Looked a thorough stayer when winning here on his debut and can follow up at the main expense of Starzand

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: A decent pace still shouldn’t detract from the chances of those who race on or near the front end such as Skuna Bay: The forecast decent pace still isn’t likely to sway the advantage towards those usually ridden further back such as is Ubatuba.
Individual Price Hint: Could Be You has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 3 starts.
