Verdict

BUCKLEUP BUDDY (4) showed marked improvement from his first local run here when finishing third here 2 weeks ago. He is back in his rightful maiden grade, and with the blinkers on for the first time, he should go close to taking this out. DEPENDENCY (5) was fifth over a mile here 15 days ago in a tougher field and drops back to 6f which is a touch of a concern, but in maiden company, she won't be far away. SABIE FALLS (7) only battled in a stronger field here a fortnight ago and she is one of a few that are dropping in class. She was placed over this trip in March and she should finish a lot closer this time. BODMIN BOY (1) was beaten by a wide gate last time and can do a lot better from a superior gate this time. Stick with him on an each-way basis. SPILL THE MONEY (8) will be peaking third up and as a 6-year-old mare, she has to make up for lost time. Include in all combinations.
