Verdict

Hard to go past GOTCHA MOMENT (4) who looks well placed here. Will find this company easier and is fitter for three runs back. Extra trip is a plus and will be in this for a long way. DIRTY ROBBER (3) looks the main danger. Safely held fresh but ran a much-improved race second-up when beaten only a length over a mile. Extra trip looks a big plus and fitter again. Goes close with a repeat of the latest figure. Same goes for DANDYNOMITE (2) who was safely held fresh then improved sharply last time. Should be ready to fire now out further in journey. MISS TROMBARI (7) raced on speed last time and gave a sight, weakening only late and just missing the frame. Can give a sight again. UZVARA (5) is the least experienced of the field and resumed in far richer company. Fitter, this is easier, and blinkers are added. Could well improve out of sight.
