With the runs on the board, good runs at that too, Logan Rock (3) kind of picks himself in a\u00a0<\/span>wide open<\/span>\u00a0race here. Handy on both days at Westport and never too far away from the action in general, he should end up in a strong spot from which to launch a claim on this race.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Cracking first up run from Katys Shadow (9) to start the new campaign and was only ever going to be better for having that run too. Even field\u00a0<\/span>here, but<\/span>\u00a0not helped by the wide draw but the advantage of Riley Harrison in the bike\u00a0<\/span>at the moment<\/span>\u00a0is worth a couple of lengths too.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
