Verdict

SENTALOA (10) ran a good race on debut here over 7 ½f, in the market and working home well for third without the best run. He'll be better for that experience and should be very hard to hold out from the inside gate. CAJUN (12) tackled a stronger race in town first up and couldn't really get warm. She was thought highly enough of to debut in Listed company and wasn't bad, she profiles to improve sharply. I'LBERIDIN'SHOTGUN (1) is racing consistently without breaking through. Was unsuited back to 6f last time and should take holding out. KOYUGA RIP (4) has just found one better his past two and is in the mix again.
