Verdict

AGNAR (1) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start after he was well back on straightening over 6f at this track. The extra ½f here should suit. Has his share of talent and will prove hard to beat in this suitable race. ATOMIC TIME (2) is having his first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what he faced when last in work. Respect any push in betting. Former Victorian ALVIN (3) has placed two of five over this distance range and will be rock-hard fit for this. Include in calculations. WILLOW CAPRI (10) wasn't disgraced last time over 6f here when she finished fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Should be about the money.
