Verdict

With a fair number of these not regular visitors to the winners enclosure it may be left to the game TEXAS RADIO to add to his win at Gowran Park last month off a 7lb lower mark. The five-year-old acts on the ground and is fairly consistent at the trip. Hattons Cross and the improving Alfirak can compete for the minor honours while Rise Again can out-run her odds here with conditions to suit.
