Verdict
Soldier's Minute is best on the all-weather nowadays and can race off a lower mark on Turf as a consequence. CALL ME GINGER (NAP) was well beaten in this on last year’s reappearance but has a run under his belt this time. He won the Bronze Cup when beating the re-opposing Be Proud here in September and Jim Goldie’s charge can go close again. Ballyare has had 12 outings on Turf without success while Lampang looks more favourably treated than Black Friday judged on last year’s victory at Hamilton and has been gelded since last in action.
