JUDICIAL (NAP) won last year’s renewal from a wide draw and Julie Camacho’s sprinter can defy a penalty once again. Tinto and Soldier's Minute filled the placed last year and the latter was beaten by Good Effort in a Listed contest here back in February. On The Warpath has a chance at the weights though hasn’t raced since June while Sunday Star finished in front of Jovial when runner-up in Listed company at Newmarket last month. The remainder have plenty to find on these terms though Lampang is unexposed and will be straighter for last month’s comeback.
