Verdict

YORKSHIRE (10) had an arduous run in transit and pulled up with cardiac arrhythmia on resumption when last in the G2 The Hunter over 6 ½f at Newcastle. Has bounced back since by all reports and expect to see him get the right set-up from the inside gate. Hard to hold out. XIDAKI (18) smart gelding unlucky not to have a few more wins on his CV. Charged late with the 126lbs when an eye catching third over 6 ½f at Newcastle first-up. Comes to hand quickly and key jockey change on the limit. One of the value plays in the race. ACCREDITED (4) model of consistency yet to tick the 7 ½f box. Near his peak now and took ground off Coal Crusher when second in the G2 The Hunter. Can slide across from the draw and go close. ROBUSTO (1) tough miler who returned with a respectable seventh in The Hunter. Stalks the speed and has excellent figures over this track and trip. DARNATION (5) outstanding mare with a big race win her this prep. Keep safe at the big odds.
