Verdict

NINETY PLUS (11) tackled the mile for the first time last start at this track and after looking a winning chance halfway down the straight he boxed on for second. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and two minor placings from five starts. Should be hard to stop. BLACK SPEED (10) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. HOLY RUN (9) finished second, beaten 4 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 6 ½f at this track after he was prominent at the corner. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. BABEL DREAMY (3) has been racing consistently including a last start second over 1m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Likely to be about the mark again.
