Verdict

HONEYCOMB (9) enjoyed the drop to this grade when a close second at her most recent outing at Gore. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run and if she gets the gaps could go one better. JAY JAY DENARIO (3) has been coming from wider barriers of late so will enjoy a more favourable draw. Aided by a class drop so could go close. BY CHANCE (8) will be fitter for two starts off a spell and steps up to a distance where he is proven so expect a better showing. BOMBAY GLACIER (4) produced a good performance last start, finishing third at Gore. Draws a few spots wider but this looks another suitable assignment.
