Verdict

DIOMEDES (4) has been good in both of his runs this time in. The gelding is proven third up and gets a winning rider atop here. TREGOR (5) is a class riser here. Won too well last start not to think he will cope in this. WAINUI BAY (8) has run well in her last three runs in a row. She is a trifecta and first four must in this type of field. MISTER ROQUETTE (3) is a multiple-class dropper here. He is course-proven too. Not out of this at all for all of your multiples. LOCH KATRINE (6) has won when third up. Chance here to find some form. Likely to be at overs.
