Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Completely Random matches Two Tribes at the top of our figures on 110 apiece, trained by Richard & Peter Fahey, and gets the vote after winning twice in his last five starts. Two Tribes is the obvious yardstick on equal figures, while Golden Mind, just three pounds behind, and Great Acclaim also warrant respect in a well-matched Class 2. It's a race with low confidence on our figures, but Completely Random is the selection.

Winless in his last five starts, Golden Mind did find a runner-up spot along the way and returns fresh after 37 days off. Third of seventeen on our figures with a strong speed figure, he remains a threat despite that blank run.

Saytarr has won four of his last six starts, including last time out, but our figures rate him only thirteenth of seventeen with one of the softer speed figures in this field. That gap between the eye-catching record and modest rating makes him hard to trust up in grade.
