MANLY FIREBALL was turned over when odds on for a Chelmsford maiden in February but he is likely to be seen in a better light now handicapping. Indeed, the prospect of a strongly-run race here could be the catalyst for improvement and he shades preference ahead of Eternal Solace, who is a big player on the back of a terrific effort in a valuable Newcastle handicap. Comprador is also shortlisted, as is Goldwork, for all that his high draw tempers enthusiasm somewhat.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: A strongly contested lead could count against Comprador, who is expected to try and race close up: Such a hotly-contested pace as is on the cards here may be to the benefit of Eternal Solace who is likely to make a challenge late.
Individual Price Hint: Eternal Solace traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts: Manly Fireball traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 4 starts.
