Verdict

HOUSE OF LORDS (14) is the one with upside that makes most appeal. The debut in town was encouraging and she really went on with it here last time out, coming clear to score by 1.5 lengths as favourite. Straight into a BM64 but it looks a fairly winnable affair and the rise to 1m certainly won't pose any issues for this daughter of Almanzor. THE WESTERN FRONT (4) has just been fair in two runs back from a spell but does drop in class from a last start effort at Sandown Hillside when firmly in the market. Fitter again, he just needs a good ride from a wide draw. MAKDANE (3) was a smart winner when last seen at Geelong, scoring by two lengths, albeit in easier grade. Can measure up to this from an ideal gate. BLACKLIST (13) was a dominant maiden winner two back and acquitted himself well straight to a BM70 at Cranbourne. Looks well placed here. LARIO (5) is off a let up for this having raced in a much stronger affair last time. Can improve.
