Verdict

HARBOR SHOW (3) was sent out favourite last time and scored by half a length over today's trip at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and a placing. Top chance. GRAND MERMAID (9) went forward last start over 4 ½f at this track and held on well for third, beaten 3.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LOUGHNASHADE (6) finished seventh two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 2 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn over 4 ½f at this track. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. KLEIS AVANTI (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a neck from the winner in second over 4 ½f at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
