Verdict
#7 Superb Spirit draws much better in barrier 4 today than he did on debut, when he jumped fairly from barrier 10 but still turned in a promising run into fourth. He has since trialled well, winning his heat comfortably, and can take a power of beating second-up. #3 Lucrative Eight has placed in both starts so far and is doing everything right. He maps for a good run somewhere just off what looks a genuine speed, giving himself every chance. #1 Anode has been disappointing but drops into Class 4 for the first time, draws barrier 1 and comes off an encouraging trial. #5 Incredible Moment won under a smart ride last start, but the race shape looks different today. Still, he puts himself on speed and gives himself every chance to be in the finish again.
