Verdict

RITUALIZE (3) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top-four in all four career outings to date and looks the runner in this field with the most upside. Gets a stack of weight relief with the 7lbs claim and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. OUT OF TURN (2) boasts a win around this circuit and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. Looms as the main danger despite the sticky draw. LITTLE VISTA (1) returned in good order with a solid win over this track and trip and winning hoop Youngberry sticks in the irons. Top-three aspirations. BABALOLA (11) resumes here but is yet to miss a drum in four first-up attempts and can run a big race while fresh. NATURALLY LIT (9) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on.
