Verdict

Several win chances in this. HE'S ON SONG (8) returned from a spell over a mile and wound up strongly to finish fifth, beaten only a length. Fitter and has good upside at just third career outing. Extra trip looks a plus and will go close with a repeat. OLYMPIAD (9) turned in a good effort last time when not far from the winner. Looks hard to beat again. FINANCE MERCHANT (6) ran fourth on debut then spelled again. Has raced twice this campaign for two placings and looks close to break through. Extra trip is a plus and will wind up late. STARTYOURENGINE (14) ran a much improved race at second out and looks suited by the longer journey. Has upside and is worth following up. BLUE ENSIGN (4) races on speed and will give a sight.
