Verdict

RAZORS EDGE (3) was responsible for a far better performance last start, finishing fourth over 1 ?m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of taking this out. IDEAL CHEVRON (13) finished third at his last run just a couple of days ago over 1 ?m at this track, beaten 2.5 metres. Tackles a similar assignment and he can certainly take this out. APATCHOFGOLD (5) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1 ?m at this track last time out. COURAGE REACTOR (9) is better than her last-start run for seventh over 1 ?m at this track would suggest. Each-way.
