In depth
Verdict
Hits only Cash, Eagle Nebula and Million Per Cent are the three to focus on here with top weight Hits Only Cash taken to score. Eagle Nebula has shown steady improvement in recent starts, and ran well after a four month lay off to finish a good second last time. Further improvement can see him play a part in the finish in this modest affair. Million Per Cent has not won for a year but has been running consistently in sellers. That form still may leave him something to find here butn he can reach the frame. Hits Only Cash won twice last year and has run well on two of his last three starts, hitting the frame on each occasion. Those runs have come in modest affairs, but Hits Only Cash may still be god enough here.
