Harlequin Perky takes the projected selection off the back of an A6 win three starts ago where he led from the boxes in an authoritative display at 68. Since then, however, things have gone wrong — he's been badly crowded at the first bend in both subsequent starts, finishing fourth and fifth with figures of 49 and 37. The ability is there when he gets a clean run, but two consecutive first-bend incidents have knocked his confidence and his form has cratered. From trap 4 tonight he's drawn mid-track which should give him some room, and the Windebank kennel at 20% will be hoping the break in luck comes tonight. In a low-separation race where ratings barely separate the field, this is a speculative pick at best.
