Verdict

DUKE OF ARGYLL (5) looked good when he scored by 8.4 metres at this venue last week. That victory means he has won the last two times he has attempted this distance here. Draws wider but he is going well. SON OF XENA (2) returns from a spell of 12 weeks but has shown promise so far, yet to miss a place in five starts. Last raced when he scored by 4 metres over at Redcliffe. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. MISTER FREEMAN (1) came from this barrier when runner-up to Duke Of Argyll last time out, giving him two wins and two seconds from his last five starts. Go well again. THE LADY DIOR (6) did a good job to come from the back row for second when resuming here last week. Proven second-up so can progress off that.
