Verdict

ANTIQUE STAR (1) didn't finish off as anticipated over 1 ?m last time out when behind a smart one and steps up in distance today. She's placed at this trip previously and the claim of Martinan comes in handy. Can land in a handy position and get back to winning ways today. ROCK IN WONDER (3) led them up last start as the race favourite over this trip at Ascot and was only gunned down late in the race. Has enough speed to roll across from the tricky draw and Corver knows him well. Rates highly on recent efforts and can go one better this time around. ROYAL TROOPER (7) has been a little plain his past couple after a good win at Pinjarra three starts back. The inside draw should see him get every chance and his best form is good enough. Can play a leading role. ARGYLE STAR (4) was brilliant in the Jericho Cup Qualifier last start and again at this trip two back. Worth including. DARK LOOKS (2) is in the mix on his recent form.
