Matchbook Betting Exchange Handicap

Amiata brings two wins in his last five starts — a winner last time out and a winner three starts back — over today's trip and going, making him a potent threat at 140 lb; the 61-day absence is the one question mark.

Red Evolution won four starts back and was second five starts back, giving him a solid recent foundation, and he arrives here fresh enough on 16 days' rest with experience of today's trip and going. The top-rated runner on 140 lb, he's the one to beat despite back-to-back disappointing efforts.

Gavoo arrives here fit on a 16-day turnaround, and his second two starts back hints at strong contention under 137 lb from stall four — though his fifth last time out will need reversing if he's to land the spoils.

Winless in his last five starts, Moltophino nonetheless brings distance and going experience to the table, and at 137 lb from stall 11 he remains a serious threat with our rating putting him third of eleven — though his recent string of unplaced efforts is the chief concern.

Placed second last time out and a winner three starts back, Spodo Komodo brings solid recent form to this, and he has experience of today's trip and going; however, that unplaced run two starts back and a rating of 78 suggest he'll need to find more against the stronger-rated rivals here.
