Verdict

OKAY ZOOMER (4) just missed the frame when having the first start for the new stable and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Was well in the betting on that occasion and where there's smoke there's fire. Rates the testing material. STREAMELOT (6) placed over this track and trip two back before not really getting the mile journey at the latest effort. Worth including in calculations. ROYAL EDITION (5) has placed two from two over this trip and is drawn to get a cosy run in transit from the inside marble. Top-three commodity. SMALL TOWN HUSSLER (1) gets some weight relief with the 4lbs claim and may earn some minor money. FIGHTING EDGE (7) next in line despite the outside draw.
