Get Closer With A Racingtv Free Trial Handicap Stakes

City Captain arrives here a winner last time out and a second three starts back, showing consistent ability at this level, with experience over today's trip and going working in his favour; the main risk is whether 142 lb from stall eight blunts his finishing effort.

Belsito arrives on the back of consecutive placed efforts — second last time out and third two starts back — with a win three starts back bolstering his recent profile, though a struggling trainer and 137 lb to carry are clear negatives heading in.

Farandaway won last time out and was second two starts back, showing admirable consistency, though a mark of 77 and 137 lb to carry temper expectations; he has run over today's distance and going, and draws stall six.

Winless in his last six starts, Roberto Caro does show a third five starts back to hint at better, and he arrives here with experience over today's trip and going, carrying 136 lb from stall four after a 37-day break, with our rating of 82 marking him the one to beat.

Abduction shaped with plenty of promise when second two starts back and has run over today's trip and going, suggesting conditions are no inconvenience; the main risk is that he remains yet to win in his last six starts.
