    Race Analysis

    MACHETE (1) delivered a neck second in a 1m4 1/2f handicap here earlier this month. Selected to go one better and record the fourth win of his career. POPEYE DOYLE (5) placed third both starts since gaining a 3L success in a 1m handicap at Kempton during August. Expected to play a leading role. DESERT EMPEROR (3) looks well positioned to have a big impact following a 2. 75L victory over 1m2f at this venue just under four weeks ago. Bated Breath filly MAUI BREEZE (6) enters calculations stepping up markedly in distance following a 5. 75L fifth attempting a 7f handicap at Chelmsford twenty two days ago.
