Verdict

LEADING DRAGON (8) was building nicely before a disappointing effort last time out at this track and trip. He loses the apprentice jockeys now and gets Atzeni on board today and he'll attempt to find the front. Can bounce back to his best form which would see him hard to hold out. ENJOY GOLF (10) led them up last start and put his rivals to the sword on the soggy track, winning by 2L. They may adopt similar tactics again today despite the wide draw, but he rates highly on that effort and drops in weight here. He makes plenty of appeal. NAVAS G (3) just missed fresh before never threatening on the wet track last time out. Ferraris takes over from the apprentice now and a much better effort is expected today as he gets back on top of the ground. VIRTUS GLORY (5) drops in weight today and the form out of his last start has been franked. Can feature again.
