Verdict

LEAF STRIDE (7) found winning form last week, coming from a handicap when he scored by 1.4 metres at this venue. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw but his recent efforts are good enough to put him right in the finish again. MAJESTIC LAVROS (5) has been tackling stronger company and while unplaced at his last couple he was third to the good mare Pinnie three back. Much better placed here. SHEETWEB WEAVER (4) could be close to a win after a good effort last time out when runner-up at this venue, beaten 1.4m. INSTANT DELIGHT (1) gets the ace draw and is racing well, placing in her last three outings.
