Verdict

COAL RIVER (1) turned in a great run fresh over a similar trip on the synthetic, placing third. Fitter again and did win only try this course and distance. Looks a top chance. JUST A NEEDS (2) hasn't been far away in last two and looks suited by the extra ground now. Hard to beat on best. HENLEY EXTREME (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.3 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a much improved run. Has upside and is sure to prove hard to beat. STARDARMUS (5) is down in weight off a synthetic win last time and sure to run well again. THISISMYTURF (8) is overdue and looks a solid top-three prospects again.
