Verdict

VERLUC (6) was prominent at the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. NEVER GIVE UP (4) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths over 1 ?m. Likely improver with strong prospects. GEUDAEMANUI BLUE (7) turned in a fine effort to win by 2.5 lengths at this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. STAR FURY (11) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 3 lengths over 7f at this track. Finds a suitable race and can feature prominently.
