Verdict

APHELION (1) lightly raced gelding resuming. Showed ability in his first campaign and primed for this with the two trials. Distance suits and expected to go close. STREET SKATER (5) third up heading into this and has his hoof on the till. Gripped on late when a fighting second over 6 ?f at Orange. Can dictate early and prove hard to run down. LONG TIME LOVERS (11) travelled well in the run but failed to close off when a disappointing fifth over 6f at Warren. Finds an easier contest and keep safe. HIMEROS (3) returned from a wide draw over the unsuitable trip when sixth over 5 ½f at Wellington. Gets a better run today and looking for this trip and further now.
