In depth
Verdict
Gunner Moyne is penalised for winning one of these Class 7 events over track and trip a week ago with Anjuna Beach not far behind and Kingston Sassafras well beaten. But SLEET looks worth another try over today's trip after a recent third over 7f here and Mike Appleby's charge gets the nod dropping down a grade. The remainder make little appeal though Loud continues to slide down the handicap and may finish closer.
