      In depth

      Verdict

      Most of these are in good form including Highly Sprung, who held on by a short-head from The Amber Fort over the course and distance three weeks ago. There's nothing between the pair on the revised terms but ROUND THE ISLAND, who wasn't far behind in fourth, gained his second course and distance victory in comfortable fashion last week. He arrives with a penalty but looks the one to be on even though the three-year-old Cameo Star bounced back to form when dead-heating at Hamilton last month. Lucky Lodge has managed to win 10 races though he's better in lower-grade affairs.
