Verdict

CRADLE OF JAZZ (15) was a barnstorming winner here at the midweeks over this trip last start, coming with a big run home after turning 5L off them. Will likely drift back again from her draw but if the pace is genuine she can finish over the top of them again. STRATUM PRIDE (16) is yet to threaten this campaign but has finished off well from tricky spots. If they can be more prominent from the inside this time he can play a major role. HEAD OF THE HERD (1) lacks early speed but possesses a strong turn of foot on his day. Will be hoping they overdo it in front so he can launch late. MAXILDO (3) should look to spear across from his wide draw and take up the running on the quick back-up. Has been well supported in his last two without saluting. Maybe worth one more chance. CROWN MINT (7) doesn't win often but continues to finish thereabouts. Keeping in mind for a minor spot.
