Verdict

Open race to close out the card. GOLD REVOLUTION (3) has been racing very consistently in lesser company and looks ready for the step-up in grade now. Draws low with the 4lbs weight relief and could present some value to close out the card. SPELLHOUND (4) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough for this. Can certainly run a race while fresh. RIVA D'AMOR (13) gets 4lbs off from the inside marble and may make her presence felt. COUNT NICHOLAS (2) has definite claims on best form and shouldn't be slept on. ABSINTHE CAT (1) will be rock-hard fit now and is next in line.
