Verdict

PELOSA (5) has found top gear at her past two contests and stays at a similar trip. Lots to like despite a poor draw. ARTFUL PERSUASION (1) has been thereabouts in three strong races since resuming. Horse for course prospect who just needs some early luck. LINWOOD (3) should appreciate a look at provincial grade at just start number four and blinkers go on first time. TACT (6) draws in close after two positive returns from his past two starts. Rock hard fit and should race handy early. THIS IS THE MOMENT (2) has had nothing go his way in two recent contests. Can turn it around now after a recent trial win.
