Verdict

ANGEL CAPITAL (1) unlucky not to win the G1 Newmarket and William Reid in the autumn and resumes with an exceptional first-up record. Looks ready to go after the two solid trials and can break his Randwick hoodoo with the good tempo. GANGSTA GRANNY (7) talented mare who finally comes up with a good barrier first-up. Will sit on the fast tempo and prove hard to get past after her impressive trial win over 5f at Randwick. Key runner set for a good prep. NINJA (2) multiple Group winner last prep who can pull out a big run fresh over the unsuitable trip. Looks to have come back even stronger judging by his two solid trials. Will be savaging the line. MIDNIGHT DYNAMITE (4) comes here in peak form after giving them a galloping lesson with a dominant win in the LR Winter Challenge over 7 ½f at Rosehill. Kept fresh and can give some of his more fancied rivals a real fright. NAPOLEONIC (3) all three wins have come at this trip and has genuine claims first-up after the two trials. Respect.
