Verdict

FIGHTING FLOYD (2) showed little early speed from an outside draw last time but wound up strongly to score a one length win over 7f at this track. Form here at this journey is very good with five wins from eight runs. Should prove hard to beat again. RUBBLEONTHEDOUBLE (8) scored by 0.8 lengths over 6f at this track when resuming from a spell last start. Has four wins here. Leading player again. THISISMYTURF (11) has been about the mark without winning, the latest offering a fifth over 6f at this track. Meets the winner 9lbs better at the weights. Expected to feature in the finish. JUST A NEEDS (7) has not won for a long while. Last raced on June 21 when beaten 2 lengths into fifth at this track over 7f after being in contention on the corner. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time. KAKIA (5) has the ability and ran very well when fresh from a break. Can measure up.
