Verdict
Justatenner had landed a double before finding ROLLING MAUL too good at Perth. The latter went on to record hat-trick with last month’s success at Newton Abbot and Peter Bowen’s front-runner should make another bold bid raised only 3lb. Planet Nine failed in his bid for a treble back in March but further progress is expected this season while Takingrisks won a chase here in the same month and can race off a 5lb lower mark over hurdles today. Elusive Theatre won over a shorter trip here early in the year and Road To Gold has slipped back down the weights.
