Verdict

Money for Waterloo Dock would look interesting however from a wide draw he is taken on with DIVINE FORCE who shaped with much more promise here last time out. Michael Wigham's Bertolini gelding has edged down to an attractive mark after a series of poor efforts this year. Two runs since his summer break have been much more encouraging however and he is taken to swoop late on to take top honours. Grand Palace knows how to win here and is able to race off a tasty mark, whilst course form is also a box that is ticked by both Green Velvet and After The Show. Romantic Queen looks interesting with Dane O'Neill taking the ride and she looks fairly treated, whilst similar comments apply to Romantic Verse and Hart Of Gold. Suzi's Dancer has a different profile and the filly may be fairly-treated off a mark of 55 as she drops in trip, whilst the bottom three in the handicap are all consistent and should give backers a good run for their money. A terribly tricky start to the card, and Divine Force is just a tentative selection.
