Verdict

RIDING HIGH (3) made up a lot of ground in his first start from the Douglas Whyte stable, finishing third over 6f. That was his first go in class 5, and he will have a query with the step up to 7f, but looks well placed to get the job done in an even contest. RAGNARR (1) was a well-deserved and overdue winner last time out. He gets to remain in the same class, and Zac Purton sticks with him. He has a chance to improve his modest record over 7f. Each way claims again. VIVA CHALEUR (9) finished third fresh up on the poly track here last time out, and was less than a length from the winner. Tony Cruz has this fellow heading in the right direction, and he gets a chance to show he can do it on turf as well. Include in all combinations. CELESTIAL HARMONY (2) should secure a cosy run from a handy draw. He is nicely placed at this level, and is worthy of consideration at some each-way value.
