USTATH won off a plater’s mark here nine days ago when the money was down and he will be a tough nut to crack if getting out on the speed once again. Steelriver is an admirable veteran and came up against a well handicapped sort trained by Tim Easterby last time so the latter should have a handle on the form and So Grateful has his first try on the Tapeta surface here. Rebel Redemption recently returned from an absence so the market is dutifully watched on this occasion while Twice Adaay steps back up in trip having been outpaced over 5f and makes some appeal of the remainder.
