ZEROING IN

We go about finding a weekend special from a statistical angle.

Good competitive staying contest, but more than happy to side with Another Cocktail.

Admittedly he has burnt his followers at his past two efforts but is worth sticking with on Saturday.

Loomed up to win last start but just felt he peaked on his run and should be raring to go racing fourth up on Saturday.

The step up in trip will definitely suit and the biggest plus for him on the weekend is the fact he gets back on to firmer footing.

Although he hasn't won in over 1000 days his sole victory to date came over this trip and he does appear well placed on best form.

Could look to settle closer to the speed from the favourable draw on Saturday and expect him to be very hard to beat.

Key Trends

Leading rider James McDonald links aboard for the first time and overall is striking at 26% with the Chris Waller stable.

Over this distance range McDonald is one of the best in the business striking at 20%.

No question Chris Waller improves his runners throughout their campaign and overall his best strike rate with horses is between 2000 and 2400m.
