Verdict

WAMBOYNE MACHETE (2) added to his good form when he led from this barrier and kept going to score at his most recent outing by 1.1 metres in a strong performance at Newcastle. Has won two of three attempts at this shorter distance so can go right on with the job. THE IRISH EAGLE (4) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance at Newcastle, beaten a head. Leading hope. LIMOUSINE CHEEKY (5) was outclassed at Listed level last start but has been kept up to the mark with a trial win and came from the back row when scoring two back at Tamworth. LOUIGI (8) is building in fitness and in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance here.
