      Verdict

      Western Command has won seven times on this track and despite being slightly out of form always has to be respected under a jockey who gets on particularly well with him. Champagne Rider has been running in better company than this, and being in good form has to be respected. Greenfield has only had two starts to date but may be harshly handicapped on what he has done so far. Reap is a model of consistency and has to be feared on a surface that he goes so well on.
