Verdict

JUST US TWO (1) was yet again about the mark last start when runner-up over 1 ?m at this track, beaten 11 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. His recent form is good enough to put him right in the finish. ANOTHER COLLECT (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 7 metres from the winner in fourth over 1 ?m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Has the ability to take care of this field. AMAZING CAPTAIN (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 3 metres when resuming at this track over 1 ¹/16m. ALWAYS A SPRINTER (10) cannot be ruled out after breaking his maiden status two weeks ago over 1 ?m at Cambridge Raceway.
