Our Expert Tip

OCEAN HEIGHTS looks to have a very strong chance here after dropping to an appealing mark. The former Flat performer appears to be finding form again and looks overpriced in the market. There are definite question marks surrounding some of those towards the head of the betting, while Rian Corcoran is riding in excellent form and should be able to keep OCEAN HEIGHTS competitive throughout at attractive odds.
