Verdict

CYAMATE (10) wasn't too far off them last time out when sixth, beaten only 8 metres, over 1 ¼m at this track. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. SWEET WILLOW (1) failed to flatter at the first run back from a break last start when ninth, beaten 12 metres, over 1 ¼m here. Has the benefit of a good draw and he can turn in a much better performance. THE BIG BANG (7) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1 ?/16m at this venue last time out. Top-three commodity. PRETTY BOY (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 2 metres when resuming at this course over 1 ¼m. Strips even fitter now.
