Verdict

HOOKED ON WEALTH (7) has proven frustrating for his supporters but has returned in career-best form this prep without winning and is unlikely to find a better chance to salute than this. Drops back to a pet trip off 42 days and the form around him is red-hot. Will take some containing. ORTHIES (4) just missed when resuming from a short break here three weeks ago. The subsequent form has been good and he should be better back to this trip. HEAVEN ROCKS (11) has only been warming late and while he'll likely get a long way back again from the draw, if the pace is decent he could cause a late scare. HOWL (1) was back to somewhere near his best last time when getting home strongly in the slop. Gets an important claim to aid the big weight and if he can hold a spot from the low draw, he's in the mix. BABAYKA (9) is a big price but his recent runs measure up. Just has the wide gate to contest.
