Verdict

Small field but good race. OZONICA (2) is worth following up. Fresh up from a long break led throughout for a big five-length win here and can only be fitter. Unbeaten in three runs at this course and distance and looks hard to rein in again. WILD DANCER (3) has been given a let-up since finishing at the tail here last time. Back in trip, back in grade and looks well placed to atone. OUTBUSH (5) has been freshened since finishing fourth on the turf last time. Goes well here and with strong early pace will give a sight. GLORY MISSION (1) resumes from a long break but hard to fault the recent trial form. Will no doubt improve but has the talent for this fresh. Stablemate THICKSKINNED (6) resumes and will wind up late this sharp trip.
