Verdict

OLDTOWN (5) resumes in a similar race to his last start nine weeks ago when finishing not far off the placings in sixth. He has enough ability to make an immediate impact fresh and looks a genuine winning chance. BETTER AND BETTER (11) is often well backed, winning only once from 7 starts as the favourite, but his form improved once fitted with the hood and pacifiers. His return trial was encouraging and with luck from a tricky gate, he can take this out. LUNAR DASH (3) finished a solid third over this track and distance at his latest appearance and can return with another strong performance. SPIRITED STEED (10) finished second prior to his spell, and Zac Purton taking over fresh up is a strong lead. Hard to beat. ROAD TO GLORY (9) showed plenty on debut when finishing runner-up. He was at long odds that day, and has since trialled well. Stick with him, but don't expect another fancy price.
