Verdict

BERLUSCA (NAP) separated a couple of subsequent winners when third over course and distance a month ago and David O'Meara's charge may have the edge on Perfect Cracker. The latter landed a double over track and trip early this year and should be thereabouts on his return to this surface. Patriotic and Off The Pulse have something to find with the latter on earlier running here while Sammy's Warrior disappointed on his handicap bow having won a maiden over a shorter trip at the track back in March.
