        Verdict

        BENADALID has been going well at a similar level and a slight drop in the ratings plus likely testing conditions can see him gain his eighth career victory. Jewel Maker and Billy Roberts have both won around here and the former will be happier on the going and though Precision Storm is best on the all-weather he's 13lb lower here. Bushfire's only success came in heavy going and he's dropped to a winnable mark in a tricky opener.
