Verdict

SLIPSAIN (1) resumes here but the form he showed in his first preparation was good enough to feature in a race like this. Tuned up for this with an easy trial and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. Former Victorian BARRELLING (3) just missed the placings when having the first run for the new stable and will have come on with that hit-out now under the belt. Should find this easier than what he faced down south and looms as the main danger. ELROND (2) has placed over this track and trip, draws the inside alley and gets 4lbs weight relief with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. DIOSA (6) brings Victorian formlines to the table and must be respected out of the Waller barn. Monitor market moves. MISS HIGHFALUTIN (7) next in line with the reliable Gollan/Jones combination.
