Verdict

FANTAXTIC (2) jumped the equal favourite last start when narrowly edged out in a similar race, closing strongly to miss by a nose. Drawn awkwardly again today, though stepping back out in trip suits and Nottle remains on board with her 3lbs claim. Can return to winning ways. RIPPER FAROOQ (1) dropped back to 5f last start and just missed out in a similar race, finishing 0.4L off the winner off a short freshen. Now out to 5 ½f where he's been successful previously and he should get every chance from the gate. Can put his best foot forward. REGINETTA (10) trialled well going into her debut before getting back and storming home from beyond midfield to win by 1.1L. Drawn well again here and the rise in trip won't hurt. Ticks plenty of boxes and is very appealing with the upside she brings in. ESPRESSO TIME (4) is hard to knock on recent form and has to be included with the blinkers being reapplied. WICKED VENOM (5) can improve.
