      Verdict

      De Vegas Kid won five times last year including a double at the track in September. He’s 6lb higher than his latest success on his return to action while Narjes has been in good form over 1m2f on the all-weather since winning over track and trip last summer and is another to consider. But KACHUMBA looks worth another try over today’s trip having won three times over 7f in only five outings at this venue and Rae Guest’s filly should be spot on for this after placing at Lingfield. It’s been a long time since Kingston Kurrajong last won on Turf and Trulee Scrumptious is preferred off her current mark.
