Point winner SIOUX FALLS is still a work in progress but showed clear signs that he's getting the hang of things when third at Sedgefield last time and there should be better to come now that he goes down the handicap route. Gustapof will be a threat off this reduced mark if able to build on his latest effort, while Up To Trix can do better again after his good run at Warwick.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: El Gavilan shouldn’t be inconvenienced if looking to adopt a prominent position: The leaders will have to go harder than the predicted pace forecast if the hold-up horses such as Up To Trix are going to come into things.
Individual Price Hint: El Gavilan traded at more than 5 times Betfair SP and 2 times Betfair SP twice when winning on 3 of its last 5 starts: Sioux Falls traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 3 starts.
