Verdict

LONE FORCE (3) hit the frame here when having the first outing for the new stable and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Looks ready for the step-up to the mile journey now and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Goes on top. MORDECAI (9) is a two-time winner around this circuit and gets some weight relief with the 4lbs claim. Strong top-three candidate on best figures. HURRICANE ROSIE (11) is having her first run for the new barn but has shown ability down south and any market confidence must be noted. READY TIGER (2) has a solid record over this course and distance with a win and two placings from five attempts. In the mix. ROCK THE SUNRISE (4) next in line from the low draw.
