Verdict

LET'S GO AGAIN (4) talented mare who bumped into some very progressive types in town last prep. Primed for this with the trial placing over 4f here. Will relish the 4lbs claim and can get cover from the gate. Hard to hold out. BENAMERA (7) is deep into the campaign and raced without luck from the wide gates at his last two outings. Drawn to stalk the speed and ticks a few boxes with Chas Schofield aboard. ZARAGOZA (2) solid effort under the circumstances first-up when he covered a stack of ground to finish a fading eighth over 5 ½f at Warwick Farm. Blinkers come off from a better draw and no shock to see him finish over the top of these. CRYPTONIC (1) resumes with an excellent fresh record and the blinkers come off. Raced in stronger company last time in and can go on with it this prep. Fitted with the one 4f trial and gets the claim. Each-way.
