Verdict
A few of these are old rivals and regulars here. Primo's Comet beat last year’s winner Militia and Get Boosting when only beaten a neck by Clarendon House over course and distance two runs ago and has twice finished ahead of Economic Crisis this summer. Not beaten far off this mark again on Friday, Jim Goldie’s charge won’t be far away again but JORDAN ELECTRICS is in the form of his life and is just preferred.
