Verdict

Terrific race but hard to go past ZOUSTROLOGY (6) who is unbeaten here, scoring with ease at the last two starts, the latest by 5.5 lengths. Has speed and is the one to run down. ROBRICK (2) placed in a Class 3 fresh then was midfield last time in a tougher race. Well placed here third-up and gets a chance to improve. BRAVEHEART (1) was runner-up in a Class 3 two back then placed in a Class 4 latest. Continues to race well and is among the chances. WINCHMAN (3) doesn't win out of turn but rarely misses the frame. Is somehow yet to win at this trip from 14 tries but has placed at a dozen of them. Fitter for another minor when resuming and is among the main hopes. ADRANOS (7) is another overdue and can feature here.
