Verdict

Come Bye, Sunnyarjun and Grand Prairie are the three to check out here and we will take a chance on the last named. Gary Moore's gelding went off a well backed favourite in a seller here last time but went down by twelve lengths to today's rival Sunnyarjun. He wassn't given a hard time once his chance had gone and on fifteen pounds better terms must have a great chance of reversing the form with that rival. Come Bye is a very consistent sort and deservedly got his head in front last time. He did it in style beating Atlantis by a yawning gap, he has taken a hike up the weights but must be concerned in the finish again today. Stately Raj, doesn't run two races alike, but if on a going day would have claims. So a very open handicap to end the card and Grand Prairie is a sporting selection
