Verdict

OFFICIATE (6) has been solid in his two runs back but has just found fitter horses. Has jumped out sharply a month between runs and looks perfectly placed rising to this trip third-up. Bold showing anticipated. CRADLE OF JAZZ (10) certainly doesn't lack any fitness and is in career best form. Drawn wide again but gets in at featherweight with the 7lbs claimer engaged and deserves plenty of respect. ALMAIRAC (8) boasts some strong form lines but has just plateaued in his last two. Has been freshened with 38 days and can get things back on track. JANDAMI (4) couldn't go with a dominant LIKE A TIGER (3) last time but meets the winner 2.5kgs better this time. Both remain right in the mix. JUST A BROTHER (9) comes through the same race and had been warming nicely into the prep. Keep safe for a minor spot at big odds.
