Verdict

The Gordon Elliott-trained CRACK OF THUNDER can improve on his most recent start when he beaten favourite in a Perth 2m4f handicap chase last month over 2m4f on good ground. The nine-year-old has conditions to suit here and can see off the attentions of possible improvers Present News and Rancher Lass as well as seasoned campaigners Better B Quick, James Michael and Naughty Molly.
