Verdict

ZAGATO (1) was returning from a decent spell last start and finished third past the post, before he was disqualified at this track. He strips fitter and is the one to beat here. PANNING FOR GOLD (3) turned in a good effort last time out when resuming from a layoff, finishing half a length away in second at this track over 1 ?m. Well-placed to play a major role in the small field. CRACKSKING (2) returns from a spell of seven months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished seventh at this track over 1 ¼m when first-up last time in work. One of the genuine hopes in the race. VESTIGIA (4) drew wide last time and was safely held when sixth over this track and trip. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Can feature in the finish.
