In depth

Verdict

Red Centre and Make Haste Slowly are the least exposed but have a bit prove now going handicapping. Secret Art and Noble Gift are both getting a bit long in the tooth but the latter slips further down the weights and has a good chance of rewarding each-way support, despite a poor draw. UNIT OF ASSESSMENT, Ilhabela Fact and Moment Of Hope are other previous course and distance winners and should be involved at the business end. Preference is for the former who is from a yard that’s been firing in the winners lately. The latter will be helped by Dylan Hogan’s claim, however, and looks a big threat.
