Verdict

TUESDAY (13) has had four runs this time in for three minors and a fourth. Has the inside alley so expect that she is going to be put bang in the right spot again and have to like that reliable run of form. Can she convert it into winning form? Won't get many better shots. HE DA BOSS (3) is a lightly raced seven-year-old maiden. Has good speed and can give a sight up there with Tuesday. LUKEY BLUE (12) was safely held over 4f fresh but fitter and can improve sharply. Awkward draw for XTRAVAGANT GIFT (18) but like the improvement shown last time out and another step forward here can see him in the finish with any luck in running.
