Verdict

SKYHOOK (2) bounced off his good trials with a commanding victory over 6 ½f in the G2 Theo Marks Stakes at this track from the outside gate. Can progress quickly this prep and looks hard to stop again from the low draw. PRIVATE EYE (1) third up today and has finally drawn a decent barrier. Slow into stride and went back from the gate with a below-par seventh in the G2 Tramway Stakes at Randwick over the 7f. Look for a more positive ride and has solid top three claims. ESTADIO MESTALLA (3) caught the eye first up with the 129lbs when he warmed up late to run ninth over 6 ½f in the G2 Theo Marks Stakes at this track. Look for him to be savaging the line. SOVEREIGN HILL (10) goes to a new pain barrier out to the 7 ½f with race fitness on his side. Place best.
