Verdict

RICHARD FARRELL (1) was run down when trying to make all in his penultimate start here, and then made up late ground when finishing a well-beaten second on this track 2 weeks ago, both times over 1 ¹/16m. The extra 2 ¼f is ideal, and he can go one better. UNUSUAL NUGGET (2) has been a touch dour in his last couple of starts, and his fitness is not in doubt. He will look to settle a touch closer to the pace now that he has a decent draw, and in a modest field, he is the main threat to the top pick. LUCKYTOBEHERE (5) stuck on gamely for third in a similar field here a fortnight ago, and she will be at her peak fitness now. Her first win is not far away. CARBON CREDIT (3) plodded on for fourth fresh up over this trip, and then never got warm over 1 ¹/16m last time out. He is worth another chance. WHERE'S ANGE (8) has picked the right race to make her debut, and the Fannin stable is flying at the moment. She is sure to have plenty of market support.
