Verdict

DEADLY PRESS (2) had been threatening before breaking through for a deserved win last time over 7f at Seymour, scoring by a head. Winning rider Daniel Stackhouse sticks. Should be in the finish despite a slight rise in grade. INFINITE JEST (6) was in the placings at his first two runs this preparation before breaking through over 1m at this track last time. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Winning claims on best figures. ASEVENTY SEVEN (1), on the other hand, is used to racing in stronger races than this and will have come on for the first-up run, so suited up to this trip. GREAT PROSPERITY (5) has weighed in at the two runs back from a spell, albeit beaten four lengths and then six lengths, but should be ready to show his best and the further rise in grade might help bring that out. SOTOMAYOR (7) was beaten a long way first-up but that was in a handy race and he'll appreciate the step out in trip.
