Verdict

ROCK THE NATION (3) has been competitive at this circuit of late. Placed over this distance two back and kept the ball rolling last time when fourth over further. Led in both of those so has the gate speed to go forward from this barrier. Big chance. SPRING DELIGHT (9) continued his consistent form when he came from wider on this row and finished fourth last start. Yet to miss a place in four tries at this circuit and distance and draws for a trail so could pose a serious challenge. ESTHER RISING (5) could go one better after missing by just a nose from this same barrier here last week. IM HARVEY SPECTER (1) added to a series of top-four finishes when third from wider last week so is in the mix from the ace draw.
