Verdict

FROM THE BLOCK (8) worked hard to find the front from a wide draw here last week, and kept on fighting gamely to finish fourth by less than a length. He has a superior draw this time, and will take plenty of pegging back again. LIKE A DRIFTER (6) is a very progressive gelding who rushed through the grades last season. He has been tuned up with a couple of trials, and is ready to rumble fresh. THE STALKER (3) won in open class last time out. Stick with him. HOLY RACKET (5) won down in class 2 starts back, and then was only beaten by a short-head at this level here last week. He has won over 6f in the past, and in his current space, he can figure in the finish again. SURPRISE COMING (10) had an excuse for a modest effort fresh up, and he normally improves with racing. Stick with him on an each-way basis in an even contest.
