A few of these are likely to be going over the sticks in due course but in this affair, SHARP SOVEREIGN should be capable of following up upon a course and distance success for the in form David Barron stable. Balwearie is back off a feasible enough mark and should run another honest race. Sovento is a previous winner here so the Irish raider has to be watched very closely in the market. Dramatic Jewel has a fair American pedigree though he did not offer a great deal for John Hills before joining Lucinda Russell. Balance On Time may have needed his first run for Linda Perratt and a decent claimer has been booked today.
