CHIPSRDOWN is a seven-race maiden, but has been running consistently well in similar races. Although beaten in four previous handicap runs, her two recent Gowran efforts were useful and she had previously shown form at this course in April. Ella's Gold was narrowly beaten here last week and although she is a progressive three-year-old who should win from her rating, her best form is on easy ground, which is a concern. Lust's most recent win came in a Listed race back in 2022, but his rating has slipped to a manageable level. Half Nutz hasn't scored since 2022 either, but also ran well recently.
Prediction: 1st Chipsrdown, 2nd Ellas Gold, 3rd Lust
