Verdict

MR SUGAR DADDY (4) is unlucky to still be a maiden hitting the top-four at his past four efforts and strikes a very winnable contest here. Has placed over this track and trip and should be right there when the whips are cracking. COVENTRY LANE (1) hit the frame around this circuit when facing the starter for the first time and will have derived a stack of benefit from that race day experience. Can improve enough to take this out. STELLAR LEGEND (9) was a touch disappointing last time out but was thereabouts in the four runs prior. In the mix for some minor money. SHADYVALE AL (7) will be ready to peak now third-up from the break and may make his presence felt. I SWIM I WIN (6) next in line in a race with only a handful of chances.
