        Verdict

        LEXINGTON TIMES (NAP) should be winning soon off his current mark having found only one too good at Newcastle last week. Racing off the same mark here, Ruth Carr’s charge gets the nod. Red Trooper is unexposed and could figure having won a maiden over track and trip last year while Pearl Spectre won off a similar mark back in November but is not the most consistent. Twin Point was placed over a mile last time but Mystical Spirit hasn't raced since March.
