Verdict

SILVER BULLET (5) resumed with an encouraging run at Mornington when finding the line strongly for second over 6f. He put up a good number there and should relish getting to 7f for the first time. Drawn well for Ben Allen, he can track the pace and have the last say. THINKYAHOT (6) made good improvement rising from 5 ½f to 6 ½f last start, covering ground from a wide draw there in what was a strongly run affair. He can land in a better spot here and go one better. LOTTA CITY (11) stuck on well at Mornington last time out, not handling the heavy two back. She should be right there again. BUTTERSCOTCH (7) is a mare by The Autumn Sun who debuts for the Moody & Coleman yard. She's jumped out well and has to be respected. RICH KING (2) is a Rich Enuff gelding for the Laurie yard who can figure off a jump out win.
