Verdict

A poor contest that should not take a great deal of winning and narrow preference is for Dinofelis, who gets the vote over Rousing Thunder and Indigo Bay. The selection is trained by Mark Brisbourne, who has his string in great form at present, and drops in class having run respectably in defeat behind Party Ploy at Hamilton last week. Rousing Thunder tends to find at least one too good and is likely to do so again and a bigger threat may be Indigo Bay, who has been an improved performer recently and is well treated on his old form. David Barron's string have been in good heart recently so Exclusive Air cannot be dismissed lightly despite the burden of top weight, while Jezadil has at least won a race this term but we are happy to side with Dinofelis to give Mark Brisbourne another winner.
