Verdict

LEAN EAGLE (5) has a handy record over this track and trip with two wins and a second from four attempts and grows a leg for hoop Wiggins. Handles all going and strikes a very winnable contest here. Should prove very hard to toss against this line-up. RED HOT LIZZIE (3) placed around this circuit in richer company at the latest effort and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Can figure in the finish again. SPIRIT MEISTER (6) has remarkably hit the top-five in 23 of his past 24 starts and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. Has to be included in calculations. OUTBACK ACTION (4) is a four-time winner over this distance range and is more than capable enough on his day. In the mix. FISTSOFFURY (7) strips fitter third-up and may earn some minor money.
