Verdict

Tough race. RAINY NIGHT (5) didn't have much luck first up here on wet ground when drawing the inside which was no help at all. The debut run last time in was good in a strong maiden when well supported. He can be a quick improver. HONEY MAKER (7) is knocking on the door having finished third in her past two starts, good out to this trip last time in a handy maiden. She should prove hard to hold out. BLACK EYED BLONDE (6) is racing consistently, placing in her past two and only beaten narrowly over this route last time out. She sets up well from the low gate and will look the winner at some stage. CORVIGLIA (3) is a Super Seth gelding on debut who should be set to run well.
