Verdict

GAMP (5) consistent mare who finds her race second-up. Came out fast and nailed late with a game second over 5f at this track. Proven at the trip and gets every chance to break through at start nine. DIRTY SUMMER (2) underrated gelding who looks well placed with the 7lbs claim first-up. Has impressed in the two trials and should get off the mark quickly this time in. FERNWEH (3) had mixed luck last campaign and resumes from a lengthy spell. Finished a narrow third to Nitro last October. Wasn't pushed out in the two trials and expected to go close in this company. REVOLUTIONARY STAR (4) returns from a lengthy break and now a gelding. Over-raced on debut from the outside gate with a tiring eleventh over 6f at Kembla Grange last October. Primed for this with the two trials and will prove hard to run down.
