Verdict

NORTHERN CHILD (2) looks close to a win. Led and swamped right on the line when fourth last time at Devonport on the synthetic. Goes best here and leading rider aboard. Take catching. THEM'S THE BREAKS (6) finished off last campaign finishing runner-up in a similar race. Looks to have been prepared differently this time in, kicking off at the longer trip. Fitter for two trials and rates well enough open best figures. Hard to beat if on song. LYCO RECO (5) ran on hard and was runner-up last time in the same race as Northern Child. Expected to feature again. LAST TREMBLE (4) comes off a fifth in a 1 m contest at Devonport Synthetic a week ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well.
