Verdict

OFF THE CANVAS (4) produced another strong performance last start when he came from the back row to just miss out here last week. Had a similar draw to this when he scored at Ascot Park prior. Can land in a good spot from this barrier so has strong claims. LUXMI (8) is a lightly-raced but progressive filly who should be close to her peak after placing in both starts off a spell, coming from this barrier for third here last time. JACCKA HENRY (2) came from wider in his fresh win at this circuit. The good draw could see him deliver again. FRANCO NEWARK (7) took full advantage of the inside draw for a dominant win when resuming. Must overcome a wider draw but has some upside.
