Verdict

HAROLD WIN (2) finished last campaign racing over 7f where he was knocking on the door of a victory. He's trialled nicely coming into this with Bowman on board and he rides him today. Been a while between drinks, though if he can pick up from where he left off, he'll be hard to reel in. KA YING RESILIENCE (4) scored first-up last campaign before a 2L defeat prior to the spell. His two trials this time in have been good and Teetan sticks with him. Looks primed for a big effort on resumption and he can land the knockout blow. SPICY STANDARD (1) was just fair in his latest trial, but he did show glimpses at the end of last campaign. Will need some luck from the barrier, but his best is good enough if he can bring it. GROUPER (7) was trending the right way before the break and can resume on a positive note as he comes here with plenty of upside.
