Verdict

RIPPIN RUPERT (9) continued his strong form when coming from this row to score by 3.6 metres at Newcastle last week. That gave him two wins and two placings from his last four starts including an easy victory the last time he raced here. Up in grade but he is going well. HEZA PLAYER (6) has been racing well of late, coming from the back row for close-up efforts in his last two outings at Newcastle. Won from the second line the last time he raced here in November, taking his record at this circuit to two from three. Big chance to add another. IM LORD TOMMY (8) drew wide and worked when midfield last start at Newcastle but won twice in a row at this circuit prior so is a player if things go his way from the second line. ALLSOPP (3) strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance and is aided by a favourable draw.
