Verdict
SILVER STATE has benefited from the application of a visor, with Jack Channon's gelding unbeaten in two starts in handicap company. He was particularly impressive at Newcastle last weekend and a 6lb penalty might not be enough to stop him from landing the hat-trick. Maria Da Silva backed up a maiden victory when returning to Newcastle and winning on her handicap debut. She is respected after a 4lb rise, while others to consider include Warning Symbol and Loma Express.
Expert View Verdict
SILVER STATE has won both handicap starts with authority, including at Newcastle four days ago. He holds leading claims of landing the hat-trick under a penalty with the visor also having been the making of him. Warning Symbol returns from 174 days off newly gelded and minus the cheekpieces. He too has the assistance of a useful 5lb rider and looks the threat, although Maria Da Silva is progressing nicely and holds obvious claims of landing a hat-trick after scoring with a bit in hand at Newcastle.
