      Verdict

      OLD NEWS was winning off a higher mark here early in the year and a recent second over track and trip suggests he’s ready to strike once again. Today’s opposition looks distinctly moderate to say the least though Anif has won off higher marks here in the past and Novak scored at Redcar back in June. Blackheath and Fire Eyes slide further down the weights.
