Verdict

Tough. TESER (4) just missed twice in 64s on the Lakeside and then tacked a 70 on the Hillside, but tired late in the piece. Carries more weight in this grade, but positions forward and he deserves another chance. BLAZING SWORD (3) is back 2f and that will suit briefly freshened. He ran a good race at Sandown two back and spaced a CL1 field at Albury before that. He's jumped out well since last seen, and Zahra's booking is a decent push for his chances. FISHERMAN'S BEACH (7) has switched yards on a 39-day return and drops back from a staying trip to a mile. It's an ask, but he has good ability and Mott sticks from a recent jumpout. Has to be kept very safe. BUDJIK BOY (6) has been threatening another win and is well in the mix again.
