Race Tip

DWIGHT K SCHRUTE (1) continues to run well in defeat and was only 14L away at Sedgefield. That sort of form will rate highly amongst this field and he will be hard to beat. DESPEREAUX (4) had a busy time of things last year and got a deserved success by half a length here at this track three months ago. Won't be too far away if fit enough to do himself justice. DON RAFAEL (7) is a former course winner who's finished third on the last two outings and will need to step forward for win purposes. KINTAIL (3) has struggled for form of late and now has a set of blinkers applied for the first time. Market will guide.
