Jimmy The Rich writes that Hollywoodbets-sponsored trainer Stuart Pettigrew saddles Arabian Sky in Race 4.
She showed very good improvement when finishing second over 1400m on this course last time.
The manner in which she finished off her race that day suggests that she will love the extra furlong on offer.
The daughter of Global View looks progressive and in this field, she should take a power of beating.
In Cahoots from the Sean Tarry stable represents decent each way value in the last race.
He took on much stronger company in the Non-Black Type WSB Heritage Consolation last time.
The 6yo gelding has dropped to a competitive rating. He takes on weaker opposition this afternoon and will be mowing down the frontrunners in the run down to the line.
