Verdict

THE HONEY BADGER (1) had a bit on his rivals with an impressive 3 lengths win over 7 ½f at this track, this grade. Has a solid record at this circuit, and Wiggins rides today in a key jockey switch. Maps well, and he can go back-to-back on a 5-day return. STARMEIRA (8) is third-up and ready to win. Was beaten 1.3L this track/trip last time and is well placed again to feature in the finish. INNOVATES (3) placed 1L behind the above in that contest and hits this at peak. He's well in the mix again. LORD POWER (5) can use the inside gate and also presents fourth up. Tries hard and won't be far away.
