      Verdict

      Good Time Ahead won on fast going over track and trip back in July though Gabrial's King wasn’t beaten far back in fourth. But the consistent JABBAAR has scored in soft ground before and has placed in all five subsequent outings since winning over 1m4f here in May. He looks sure to run his race again and is preferred to Twin Star, regularly thereabouts in handicaps but only successful in a maiden race so far. Super Kid looks high enough in the weights and Dark Ruler hasn’t raced since 2016.
