Verdict

With a soft lead likely and the step back up in trip to suit NOBLE GIFT can take his career wins tally double figures in this Class 2 handicap contest. The selection has put in some decent efforts so far this term and can repeat his win in this race in 2015 today. Dance The Dream has been in good form of late and is taken to claim third on this occasion while the filly Rock Steady is another to consider with the ground and trip both positives today.
