Verdict
#7 Refusetobeenglish has been crying out for a better gate after two get-back runs from wide draws. His earlier third behind Perfect General from a kinder setup is the right guide, and a mid draw gives him his chance to capitalise. #1 Triumphant More lands an inside draw after four runs from wide gates. He gets a clear map upgrade and that brings him right back into it. #5 Bienvenue resumed well after a bleed with a fourth that had merit after being eased back early from barrier 10 before finishing strongly. He has drawn 11 this time which is not ideal, but a genuine tempo can see him hitting the line hard. #11 Never Too Soon maps for a soft run from barrier 3 first-up after a good trial. An in-form Matthew Poon takes the ride for the David Hall stable, whose runners have been hitting form.
