Verdict

Local trainer James Moffatt took this race in 2017 with Lough Kent and before factoring in odds, theoretically has a 50% chance of doing so again saddling five of the ten runners. Riding arrangements offer few clues as to the potential pecking order, but there was plenty to like about the handicap debut of C&D winner and Godolphin cast-off THINK AHEAD at Perth last month. He was beaten 8L by the thriving Morning With Ivan, with both runner up Monfass and third Elmono giving that form an overall solid feel.
  1. Think Ahead
  2. Good Tradition
  3. Newstart
