Verdict

SO WE GO (7) was not far away when finishing fourth here 2 weeks ago when making his poly track debut. He maps to receive the run of the race from the pole position, and he also welcomes Bruno Queiroz back to the saddle. The extra 1 ½f is key, and we think he will go close to taking this out. EAST END LAD (6) will be having his first start on this surface after some solid efforts just out of the money recently on the turf. The booking of top hoop Lisa Allpress is a positive, and he can figure in the top 3 this time. MAROTIRI MARSTA (3) sat off a hot pace and was too strong here 2 weeks ago, scoring an upset win by a length. He has a tougher draw this time, but can still figure in the top 4. KARYON (4) won his only start here. Include.
