Verdict

PRESTIGE ICE (12) has put the writing on the wall at her last couple of appearances, the latest effort a close third over 1 ¹/16m at Ipswich when coming off a 37-day break. That run will top her off nicely. Just needs luck slotting in from a tricky draw to end the run of outs. WEXFORD MISS (9) has been found wanting in her four runs this prep but on a quicker back-up today she could spring a surprise. TRIPLE TIME (5) is a new arrival in the Allan Chau stable and returns from a 14-week break. Betting holds the key. CALVARY (1) showed improvement to place last start. Strips fitter again third-up so may progress further.
