Verdict

THE RASCAL (2) makes his first appearance for the Turpin yard having switched from New Zealand where he put together a string of top-three finishes at Alexandra Park including a win two back. Readied with a trial win and a low draw should give him every change to kick off with a win. RACE FOR RICHES (6) hit his peak when fourth up last start scored by 1.2 metres in a nice return to form at this venue. Draws wider but could go on with it. MY ULTIMATE FELIX (7) draws wide but must be respected after winning four of his last five starts, the last two at this circuit. SITTING ON EIGHT (3) is racing well with placings in all three starts since winning here and draws to be competitive again.
