      Verdict

      Just Hiss is taking a huge drop in class and it’s a long time since he ran off a mark this low so any market support would be significant. But there wasn’t a lot wrong with ANTAGONIZE’s comeback run at Southwell and, with Gianluca Sanna good value for his 7lb claim, Bryan Smart’s charge can get back to winning ways having beaten Chinese Spirit at Hamilton last year. Carter Cowboy is often thereabouts but still winless after 10 attempts.
