Verdict

STARTS NOW (5) is knocking on the door and should be hitting his straps fourth-up on the quick turnaround. Rise in trip looks perfect for him now. WINE BARRON (2) put it all together fourth-up when getting the verdict over this track and trip. Has been kept fresh with a month between runs and if he holds his form he will be right there again. BOLTED IN (7) is in career-best touch at the moment and with even luck he can salute this time. PETA'S HEART (10) was too strong for them late here last time when edging out Bolted In. Rises slightly in the weights but is still on the up. JOVIALE (9) couldn't live up to market expectations last week but backs up quickly and boasts peaks that measure up. Take on trust.
