Verdict

Megalala returns after a break at the age of 16 to run his 142nd race and he's the only one in this line-up with a course and distance victory to his credit. The superbly-bred Askari has shown a bit of potential on the all-weather and can improve, while Rattle On has made progress on artificial surfaces, battling on to score over a mile here last month. Embankment appears best on Polytrack these days as he showed here last month while Gunner Moyne's three victories have come at a very lowly level. This isn't the strongest of handicaps and a chance is taken with KERRERA on her reappearance and handicap debut as she showed some potential in her first campaign.
