Verdict

PULAMBI (10) returned to winning form second-up with an authoritative display after just missing first-up. Progressive type who looks well suited stepping out again with a light weight thanks to the claim. Third-up and ready to peak. ALPINE JOY (6) fought hard to score two back and then chased gamely last start when fourth at Clare. Faces a tricky draw but gains the services of Neindorf, which is a strong push. Can be in the finish with even luck. KUITPO KISS (9) turned in a promising effort when resuming, hitting the line strongly late into third. Will improve with that run under the belt and gets the rise in trip, though the wide draw may see her get a long way back. MY TRUTH (5) is honest without winning often but is capable on his day. Keep safe for exotics.
