Verdict

CONFESSIONAL (5) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 110 metres into tenth at this track over 2m. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. KINK (3) was disappointing last start when fifth over 1 ?m at Cambridge Raceway after five wins and six minor placings from his previous 12 starts. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. ROMEO FOXTROT (6) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1 ?m at Cambridge Raceway last time out. Well worth an each-way ticket. MAGIC DASH (4) is better than his last-start run for 10th over 1 ?m at this track would suggest. He has won five races here and is worth another chance.
