Verdict

VILLANDRY (7) got the maiden out of the way two back before just running into one better over this track and trip last time out. Will be cherry-ripe fit for this and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. OUR HEART THROB (3) has only missed a quinella spot once in four attempts over this course and distance and gets Wiggins on board to navigate from the sticky alley. Hard to beat in this suitable contest. BADLIFEDECISION (10) doesn't win out of turn but is usually thereabouts and may trouble the judge with luck in running. CASH ARTIST (2) resumes here but has tuned up for this with a recent trial placing and can run a big race while fresh. HOU LONG GWAI (1) next in line with the claim.
