Verdict
Meishar chased home the top sprinter A Case Of You a fortnight ago and though he's never won over a trip this far he hasn't been stopping over shorter. Chavajod just failed to hold on over the track and trip last time, with Tyrconnell a couple of lengths behind and both Punk Poet and Party Moon well beaten, and looks certain to make a bold bid. Mulgrave has had a break since completing a course and distance double in December and though up 9lb is still likely to get into contention. SUPER OVER, a winner on Polytrack for Archie Watson, made a very encouraging start for new connections last month and is taken to land this competitive handicap.
