Verdict

CAPTAIN PAPRIKA (3) finished 11th last start, beaten 40 metres at this track over 1 ¹/16m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Perfectly placed this time and is sure to be there at the finish. NEDS BEACH (4) finished eighth here two runs ago before finishing sixth at his latest appearance over 1 ?m at Globe Derby Park, beaten 4.5 metres. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. WHATA OPTIMIST (5) disappointed last time when eighth over 1 ?m at Globe Derby Park. Can bounce back. APOLOGY ACCEPTED (7) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1 ¹/16m at this venue a week ago. Capable of a lot more.
