Verdict

MIKI SKIPPER (1) was far from disgraced at his latest appearance over 1 ?m at this track, beaten just 3 metres into fourth. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Tackles a similar assignment and he can turn things around. TWO TICKS (3) ran fifth last start at this track over 1 ?m, beaten 8 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. INTERRORGATOR (9) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1 ?m at this track a couple of days ago. VESTA (10) is next in line but might need a few good breaks from an awkward draw.
