PLAY SMARTER

LIGHTSHIP didn’t need to be subjected to a hard time when making a winning start in handicaps over C&D a fortnight ago and should follow up here. Smiling Sunflower also appeals as being on a fair mark and is the main danger if able to race more efficiently, whilst C&D specialist Crystal Casque is also a player.
