Verdict

The majority of these come into this in poor form, and it looks a great opportunity for MIDNIGHT JADE to get back to winning ways. She probably found Southwell's sticky conditions against her on her latest start and will find the likely drying ground much more suitable here. Cruising Bye showed a bit more on his latest start and if building on that, might pick up the silver medal, and the scrap for the bronze, wide open as it is, might fall to Over My Head,, despite being well out of the handicap.
  1. Midnight Jade
  2. Cruising Bye
  3. Over My Head
