Verdict

ALPHA CAPTURE capitalised on a good mark with something to spare on his penultimate outing and wasn't seen to best effect here earlier in the week, so he's worth a chance to resume winning ways in a race that doesn't look all that strong for the numbers. Sixpack should get involved and Friday's winner Toll Stone is another to note.
