      Verdict

      Course and distance winner Hard To Catch is back on a winning mark and can land the card's finale. Usually blinkered, they were left off for his first two races this season but were put back on last time over six. Back to his favoured five and bits, he can put in a bold show. There are plenty of dangers, including fellow course and distance victor, Bells Beach, and Indian Bazaar - one of three left in the race from Milton Bradley's six initial entries - who is weighted to go well and his rider takes off a useful three pounds.
