Verdict

SIR LOYNE (3) solid return first-up with a tough on-pace second over 7f at Kembla Grange. Raced keenly in the early stages with a tiring fifth over 1m at Wyong. Can take the sit today and prove hard to hold out. LANG PARK (6) tough county-trained gelding who can keep the winning momentum going in this stronger contest. Shouldered the 129lbs from the wide gate when he swooped late to score a soft win over 7f at Wagga. Only 117lbs to carry today and has genuine top three claims. COMMANDING ARTIST (2) has come back a more accomplished gelding this prep and hard to ignore in this vein of form. Back in trip with a gritty second over 7f at Kembla Grange. Maps well and sure to be thereabouts. MALABAR (1) comes back a level for this fourth-up and can return to form with the 7lbs claim from the better barrier. Each-way.
