Race preview

Asmund has been running well in defeat of late and could go well, while Motawaazy is another who has been in fine form and has two wins and four placed efforts in his last six starts. Motarajel and Distinction also have claims of exploiting falling marks, but at the other end of the handicap RETIREMENT BECKONS catches the eye. A good winner over a mile at Hamilton on his penultimate start, Linda Perratt's gelding has been raised just 2lb and could be a major player after finishing third over a mile her eon Saturday.
