Verdict

FUGITIVE (10) was solid in stronger grade at his latest appearance, drawing very wide and working but boxing on. Has had a month off since but was runner-up in a similar race to this when resuming prior. Draws out but his best form wins this. AGENTOFGOODINTENT (6) has been racing very well and deserved his win last start, coming from this barrier and scoring by 2.8 metres at this circuit and distance. Could go on with it. THE EYE IN THE SKY (3) draws well again and is looming as a threat after a good effort last start, beaten a head into second at this circuit and distance. CRUNCH IT (5) is fitter for recent racing and his lone win came at this trip.
