Verdict

Priors Brook beat a subsequent winner last time but all his three handicap wins have come from weights in the range 73-75 and he is passed over in favour of FOIE GRAS. The Dwyer/De Sousa combination have been a good pairing this year and boast an excellent record around here. The winner of eight races has claimed three of those victories around here. He has looked ready for this trip and provided this is run at a truer pace than on his previous attempt he can take this. Estrella Erla is feared back on a track where she is unbeaten. She was easy to back on turf last time and has been give a break since. A more positive market vibe would be significant. The Gay Cavalier reserves his best for the AW and he ought to be on the premises in his current mood.
