Verdict

ISLAND FRANKIE (4) started a hot favourite when resuming for the new yard but manners let him down. Should be better for the hitout so is worth another chance. VULCAN STRIDE (3) made a nice return at his latest appearance a week ago, finishing a head away in third at this circuit and distance. Has the benefit of a good draw and should be fitter so could take it to the next level. JINAN (2) draws well and must be considered after she missed narrowly as runner-up when resuming at this circuit and distance a week ago. TRIUMPH STRIDE (6) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth here.
