Verdict

CALL OF DUTY (1) was too good fresh before a 1.3L defeat over this course and distance 24 days ago. He's a lightly-raced prospect and while he has drawn wide, he looks to have plenty of upside. Beaten as a $1.30 chance last start, but he can go to another level third-up into the campaign. GOD HAS DRIFTED (4) ran away to win by 2L over this track and trip 24 days ago in a CL2 and looks to get the right run from an inside barrier. He boasts a good record at this track and trip and he can make his presence felt again. KAMIKAZE FIGHTER (5) gets the blinkers on first time following a 1.2L defeat over 7 ½f last time out. Back in trip now and a firmer surface is expected this time which may suit. Watch for him late in the piece. SECRET DEPLOY (6) was only 1.9L off the winner lasts tart and maps for a nice run once again. Worth including. SECRET STONES (7) has been around the mark lately and is not to be discounted.
