      Verdict

      September's Sandown winner Waady has bags of scope but may struggle to give weight to some race-fit rivals. MOON RIVER may well have completed her hat-trick at Southwell last month had she not missed the break. She still finished ahead of Rita's Boy and the switch back to Turf shouldn't halt her progress as she appears to handle any surface. Bapak Asmara should do better now handicapping and Darma showed a willing attitude at Wolverhampton in the autumn and is the type to improve further.
