Verdict

SAMARKAND (1) led them up last start over this course and distance and was only caught late in the piece, going under in a photo finish 17 days ago. The inside barrier is a bonus today as he should be able to find the front without doing a whole lot of work. Can land the knockout blow this time around. ABSOLUTE AWAKENED (8) missed by 3L over this course and distance last time out after sitting handy in the run. He was keen through the middle stages there but he looks as though he'll be better for that effort. Needs some luck from the barrier but he can put himself in the finish once again. MATSU VICTOR (5) gets the visors on for the first time today after a 2.3L defeat last time out. Needs some luck from the barrier, but he's building nicely this time in work and is not to be discounted. CALIFORNIA MOXIE (4) is better than he's shown his past couple and now gets Bowman in the saddle. Include.
