      Verdict

      None of this bunch inspire confidence but ATTAIN won an amateurs' race on the all-weather track here on his penultimate start and may prove good enough. Bamako Du Chatelet has won over track and trip in the past but has looked high enough in the weights on the Polytrack here lately while Port Douglas has shown no improvement for a slide down the weights and was beaten by the selection here earlier this year along with Fanoulpifer. Light Of Air had bits of form last season but has been beaten out of sight in both outings so far this year.
