      Verdict

      Cool Creek can benefit from the ease in grade and get back to winning ways in this company. Stratham and Sometimes Lucky can give the son of Desert Style the most to do. Sometimes Lucky put in an improved effort at Beverley at the start of this month and looks ready for this step up in trip. However, he does need to find a fair bit more to trouble our hope and looks one to bear in mind for future reference this afternoon. Stratham has already paid his way in place money and it looks a formality for his connections to find him a race somewhere along the line. Shopfitter and Georgia Jed already have a lot to find and are not hard to overlook on this occasion. Which brings us back to Cool Creek, who looks a cut above at this stage. It will be very surpassing if Richard Hannon's colt cannot make the most of what appears to be a good opportunity for him to shine today.
