The progressive KHAFRE can make a winning start in handicaps off what looks a fair opening mark. Knock Off Soxs and Treasure Planet are also going the right way so are feared most.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: The pace doesn’t look like being overly strong here and Knock Off Soxs should still be served best by being ridden prominently: The leaders will have to go harder than the predicted pace forecast if the hold-up horses such as Treasure Planet are going to come into things.
Individual Price Hint: Wolf Walker traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts.
