Verdict

NO GREATER VUE (2) is likely to get back in but is ticking along well while finding it tough to break through, finding one better in a very similar race here last start. Not sure where he gets to from the draw but he rates well. EAU DE COLOGNE (14) comes back to the track and trip of her best win, if she can find it she's right in the finish.. MATROOSHI (9) is going okay and has minor claims from SWYCHO (8) who was solid here last start and deserves respecting.
