In depth

Verdict

Branwell's comfortable victory over Yurman and Exciting Days came on Dirt and the placed horses have a chance to overturn the verdict on Turf. The winner had finished behind Light Beam here in March but the latter doesn't appear to have made progress. Last Light very nearly lost his maiden tag when beaten a length by Zucchini, who runs earlier, last month but a chance is taken with UNTOLD SECRET, who has been a brilliant servant to connections having won nine times including over the track and trip just before Christmas.
