Verdict

HOT DIGITY BOOM (2) is the one to beat after missing by a nose in a BM70 at this track. The rise to 7f is supported by a solid distance record, and the weight relief strengthens the case. On top. TORANAGA (10) has put together two narrow seconds, the latest here behind Rock The Sunrise, and his record at this track and distance plus the Ivo Fry pairing make him the clear danger. BRAVE AGENDA (8) was only beaten just over a length first-up in a BM60 and strips fitter with a sizeable weight drop. In the mix. READY TIGER (6) comes off a narrow BM65 here and is honest enough to be included, though the return to 7f is a question.
