Verdict

BREECHES (6) is an honest conveyance who has hit the top-four in eight of her past nine starts and strikes a very winnable contest here. Ready to peak now third run back from the break and looks the one they all have to run down. WAR COUNCIL (1) saves his best form for this trip and will be rock-hard fit for this. Bold showing expected. DIAMOND LUCY (13) has hit the frame at the past couple and may earn some minor money again. MAGIC SUNNY DAY (5) is a last-start winner who can go right on with the job now.
