Verdict

IMMORTAL BRIDGE looks the type to keep improving and this trip ought to bring out a bit more in him. He's taken to come out on top, with those towards the top of the handicap - namely Clara Sorrento, Seskinane and William B - all likely to give him the sternest test.
  1. Immortal Bridge
  2. Seskinane
  3. William B
