Verdict

Another wide open race with the majority struggling to break through. One such hopeful is TRIBAL COUNCIL (3) who has been going much better than the form looks. Narrowly beaten last two and will be hard to hold out late. MISS LYRA (10) showed good ability last time in tackling some richer races. Fitter for a recent trial and did win only try course and distance. Should run well fresh. HUBUBBAJAHN (12) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well when returning from a break last time at this track, finishing third and only a head from the winner. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. ZULU FIELDS (13) is racing well without winning and looks a leading chance.
