Verdict
An open contest though Deep Explorer has had no luck with the draw and Thorpe D'Oro is upped in class after finishing a close-up fourth in a claimer here last week with Lindante behind. Towards The Light is another stepping up from claiming company but Seattle Thunder is at home in this grade and could go close. Sorryaboutnothing has been beaten since defeating STEPHEN’S ANSWER by only a neck in a rare handicap here last month. The latter re-opposes on more favourable terms and gets the vote representing Robertino Diodoro’s leading yard.
