RACE SUMMARY:
DEANS ROAD is well into the twilight of his career but was impressive when landing a C&D event on his last Rules outing 10 months ago. Having had a run in points to sharpen him up earlier this year, he might be worth chancing to get the better of Zamparelli and Peacocks Secret, who were both runner-up last time.
