      In depth

      Verdict

      Grandmas Dream won a claimer on the Polytrack last time and recent Ayr winner Hinton Admiral will do well to confirm running with the second Tongalooma. The latter is one of three in this race who scored at last week's meeting at this track, but she's upped in class today, while Babich Bay is dropping back in distance after romping home by seven lengths over 6f. The third of last week's winners was the most impressive as CAPTAIN SCOOBY won a better race than this over C&D and can shrug off a penalty with conditions likely to suit once again.
