Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Overdue and gets his chance.

HAVANA BELLE (1) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 415m behind Foxrock Bell (28.07) in an A7. Has ability and is one of the better chances. ROYSTON RUBBLE (6) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.
