Verdict

EZIYRA has fitness to prove returning from a layoff but the Weld filly still looks the one to beat in this field. She comes out best on ratings and collects a handy 5lb from her rivals ensuring she gets the nod. Brutal has run with credit in decent races and isn’t ruled out, though he must put a poor show at Gowran Park behind him. Finn McCool, Grandee and Night Of Glory can all lay down some kind of claims too in what looks an open contest.
  1. Eziyra
