Verdict

IGNITE (9) continued his impressive run of recent efforts last time out when he came from this mark to finish runner-up for the fourth time in a row at this circuit and distance, beaten 4 metres. Deserves a win and could achieve it here. VOLTAIN (4) backs up after making it back-to-back placings with a second in a higher-graded race here on Tuesday. Came from this mark for third prior. Working her way back towards winning form. ILLUSORY FEAT (7) is on the radar after her last-start fourth at this venue six days ago. LAYDOWNLUNA (8) is race fit now and could close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third at Redcliffe.
