Verdict

Woolston Ferry is taken to get his head in front on his fourth attempt with both Digit and Pure Poetry worth noting. The selection has shown a decent level of ability on all three of his runs to date and all of the races are starting to work out well. With that experience now under his belt he looks set to land himself in the winners enclosure before too long. Digit improved from his debut to finish an eye catching second at Hamilton recently. Brian Smart has an uncanny knack with his young stock and it will be no surprise to see Digit improving once again so he is one for the short list. Pure Poetry is another that comes from a yard renowned for producing two year old winners. His form will need improving though if he is trouble the judge. So for the winner we return to Woolston Ferry.
