Race preview
Having returned to form with a good second over 1m here 18 days ago, VILLALOBOS looks ready to strike at this level. The Footstepsinthesand gelding will appreciate the extra quarter-mile and he may defy a 1lb nudge up the ratings. The biggest threat might emerge from C&D winner Mrembo, who is likely to enjoy the ease in class. Ladypacksapunch is the pick of the remainder.
