Verdict

PATH TO GREATNESS (3) was a beaten favourite here last time but he he did have to race wide and work so far from disgraced when less than 2m away in third. He is a talented pacer who has won from a standing start before so can atone. MOSSDALE TERRY (5) turned in a strong performance last time when he drew wide but battled on bravely for a 1.5m second at this circuit and distance. Go well again. FREE THINKER (6) backs up after hinting at a return to form with a better effort for third here on Saturday. WHOS DELIGHT (7) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth at this venue and a solid third after working two back at Redcliffe.
