Verdict

CRUZ WITH ROME (7) hard to fault recently. Scored two back at this track then lined up for a hat trick and finished 1.3 metres from the winner in second over 1 ¹/16m here at the latest run a week ago. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. SPRING DELIGHT (2) finished eighth two starts ago then recorded a commanding victory last start, scoring by 15 metres over 1 ¹/16m at this venue. Has the benefit of a good draw. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. PUNTO CALIENTE (1) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.3 metres at this circuit over 1 ¹/16m. AMERICAN BOXER (12) is next in line but might need a few good breaks from an awkward draw.
