Verdict

SOHO PIASTRI (8) led and stuck on solidly when fourth in a handy line-up last start. Had finished top-two in his other three outings this time in including a win at this circuit and distance. Draws out but was runner-up from this barrier when fresh and has enough speed to push forward. NYMBAL (9) is a newcomer to the Kerryann Morris yard from NZ where he was last seen in finishing fifth in the Group 1 Northern Derby at Alexandra Park. Has had nearly six weeks off and draws wide but his Kiwi form should measure up strongly. HYKEEPMEPOSTED (1) looks close to a win after back-to-back seconds over this distance, one here and the other from a wide barrier at Newcastle. He looks well served by the inside draw. ALWAYSBGOOD (10) cops a wide barrier but is progressive having yet to miss a place including a Penrith win two back and a second after racing wide here last week.
