Verdict

BOLD JULIUS (1) grows a leg for hoop Martyn who has two wins and two placings from just four steers and again gets the benefit of her 4lbs claim. Is yet to miss a drum in five spins over this track and trip and will be right there when the judge calls a halt. ROSE OF SHIRAZ (9) resumes here but has revved up for this with a recent trial placing and has won twice when fresh before. Expect her to play a major role. ALLY (8) saves her best form for this six-furlong journey and will be at peak fitness now fourth run back. Well placed here. THE HAMO (7) maps ideally for this from gate three and is sure to give backers a sight. JOY A PLENTY (5) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on.
