      Verdict

      HARRY UP is a consistent enough type at this grade and he can prove too good for Blue Tomato and Russian Symphony. The selection needs little introduction to followers of this grade and having landed the odds over course-and-distance, there should be little worry with regard to a follow up. Blue Tomato is an interesting participant. The former Milton Bradley runner won under today's rider previously at this circuit and the market has to be watched closely. Russian Symphony is a rare runner on the level for Charlie Egerton. He might be better over further. Bluebok has regressed badly over the last few seasons. Bahamarama has shown glimpses of ability and could have claims of hitting the frame if any of the market leaders are not on their A game. Not the strongest of races so Harry Up can make light of the task.
