Verdict

JUST RESPONSE (5) exciting gelding who created a big impression at start three when a slick on-pace winner over 6f at Gosford in fast time. Gets a better set-up for this and justifies the favouritism. DEAL N' DASH (1) Dundeel gelding resuming. Big effort at start three when running on late to finish eighth in the G2 Tulloch Stakes over 1 ¼m last April. Fitted with the two searching trials and look for him charging late. THREE ARROWS (6) bounced off his narrow debut third with a gritty on-pace win over 6 ½f at Newcastle on the soft (6) going. Zac Lloyd goes on from the good draw and stays in the mix. CALL ME SASSY (7) lightly raced mare shaping up well in her first preparation. Caught the eye late when third over 6f at Gosford. Brings a solid set of figures and can overcome the sticky gate.
