Verdict

DESERT RAIDER disappointed when sent off favourite for his handicap debut but made no mistake when scoring over track and trip last time. Gelded since, another bold bid is expected in this company. Notre Dame posted her best effort so far when placed over 6f here but Terratino Fire and Maverick Style look no nearer winning.
