      Verdict

      A couple of these made winning debuts at the track last month and are penalised. How Impressive drops down in trip after scoring over 7f but SIP AND SMILE only needed to be pushed out when successful over today’s distance and George Boughey’s colt should make another bold bid. Beneficiary is preferred to Khurumbi of the others with experience while Anthem National is a full-brother to a winner and is a newcomer to note.
