Verdict

STEADY ON (6) travelled in the leading division and looked a chance but just missed the placings last start over 1 ¹/16m at Grafton. Racing well and this step back in distance looks the right move. Big chance in an open race. OCCUPATION (5) produced a real eye-catcher last time out at Grafton when lining up for only the second time. Settled worse than midfield that day then unleashed late to be beaten under a length at the end of 7f. This looks the perfect follow-up assignment. HABIB ALBI (2) chalked up a third career placing from six outings when he led then held on well for third recently over 1 ¹/16m at Grafton. Chopping and changing his distances but is coping well and should give a great sight again. ZAYYANO (8) led but couldn't keep going in a 1m Grafton maiden last start. Should race handy and can run a cheeky race. MILITARY LEGEND (10) next best but does step up sharply in distance.
