Verdict

SWEET ROCKY (7) drew on the back row and had no luck when held up in a higher-graded race last week. Runner-up in his previous three outings at this circuit and distance so has had the hoof on the till for a while. Draws wide but this suits. Primary contender with even luck. PUNTERS JEWEL (6) produced a decent performance last start, finishing fifth in a higher-graded event at this circuit and distance. Draws wider but looks a leading hope in this suitable race. MY ULTIMATE VICTOR (2) is another coming back in grade and should get his chance from this draw. BONNIES CAM (8) draws for a trail is in the mix after a second at this circuit and distance last week.
