        Verdict

        Jewel Maker returned to winning ways over track and trip recently though is 6lb higher and upped in class. Kentuckyconnection also won a lower grade contest here a fortnight ago and has been raised 4lb but RED JASPER can race off the same mark as when finishing a close-up fourth over 7f here last time so it could be his turn again today having won over today’s longer trip earlier in the year. Defence Treaty won over 7f here in October while Red Poppy and Mandarin have both switched yards and drop down in distance.
