Verdict

Top Offer looks sure to be thereabouts on a track where he produces his best and now that he is beginning to look fairly treated. A good young rider has been booked but marginal preference is for CALEDONIA LAIRD. The yard had a winner here nine days ago and this C&D winner has had little respite from the handicapper since his last success. Now that he is finally down to his last winning mark, and with the team's horses going well, this is his opportunity to gain an overdue win. Tavener will set a good pace and give the strong finishers such as Castlerea Tess and Evanescent something to race off.
  1. Caledonia Laird
  2. Top Offer
  3. Castlerea Tess
