In depth
Verdict
Several have good recent form in less valuable claimers including My Cowboy, who scored over a slightly longer trip on the Turf here last time. Bunster debuts for a new yard with a leading track jockey on board having also won here recently but both Quality Step and Astute Warrior have been beaten since landing lower grade contests. LAST PROMISE drops back down in class having won by four lengths at the track when last competing in claimer though that was on the main track. But he’s improved subsequently and a chance is taken Tim Padilla’s charge can reproduce his recent form back on the Turf for this.
