Verdict

LOWLANDS (8) got an overdue win over this course and distance last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Wiggins retains the ride and can go right on with the job now. NOLAN (1) resumes here but has only missed a drum once in five first-up attempts and has tuned up for this with a recent trial. Sure to run a big race while fresh. TIME TO PROPHET (2) is a bit hit or miss but is more than capable enough on her day. Respect any push in betting. LA PETITE MAISON (4) has placed over this track and trip and maps ideally for this from the inside marble. Should give backers a sight. NORTHERNONTAP (5) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on.
