        In depth

        Verdict

        NIGG BAY has gone well on his last two forays from Ireland and the Levins inmate can strike again in a competitive finale. He's only been nudged up 1lb for a close Ffos Las second last time and has proved a reliably consistent servant to connections. Delegate This Lord is a major danger if the rains stay away but there would be doubts about the Attwater charge should conditions soften appreciably. Madrinho continues to perform creditably without winning and is of interest once again, whilst Big Lachie has a decent record at this track and Watson is booked. Secret Potion won with something in hand the last day and should be in the mix under his penalty
