      Verdict

      HARBOUR FRONT won a novices' race over 1m4f here last month. There looks more to come over this longer trip now handicapping and this doesn’t look a strong race. Argus scored over track and trip back in November but has struggled since and Sociologist is preferred on recent form having found only one too good on his last couple of outings over course and distance. Charlie D debuts on the surface having won over today’s trip on Turf last year with The Resdev Way preferred of the remainder if on one of his going days.
