Verdict

FOR ALWAYS ARDEN (2) has switched yards since tackling stronger company at his latest appearance at Penrith. Led and stuck on for a 2m second at Newcastle prior so can be prominent from this low draw. LOMBOK (10) is a capable mare who has put together two wins and two minor placings from four starts this prep. Goes back to the second line but came from this barrier when she scored at this circuit and distance last month. YUKON BE SERIOUS (1) came from a wide barrier last week week but gets the ace draw here so could show her best. SCHEMING (5) draws wider but is worth some thought after her last-start fourth at this venue, beaten just 1.5m.
