      Verdict

      UK newcomer REDWATER RIVER looks really well treated here and is taken to win this ahead of the two carrying penalties United Nations and Transmission. The selection should take to this surface well as an animal who loves cut in the ground as proved by his win for his previous connections in testing going at Gowran Park last time out. The form from the race looks good with the fourth going on to score and with the main dangers now suffering with penalties he can get off to a winning start to life in Britain. Of the two being penalised for last time out success hat-trick hunting United Nations seems best placed to get involved after finishing ahead of Transmission, the other under penalty, two starts ago. The pair meet on roughly the same terms and with both only narrow winners last time the extra weight looks decisive. Elk Trail has form to over turn on the two we've just mentioned but could do it on these terms but Redwater River should be too good for all of them.
