Verdict
Garvan Donnelly's in-form Catwilldo makes a return visit having only lost out by a short-head behind Bunce here last month. Show Palace and Spirit of Zebedee were both going well prior to their latest starts. Crombay drops down a grade and is worth a second look and fellow three-year-old Addicted To Luck could also go well. Rock Canyon is only 2lb higher as he bids to repeat last year's victory but will encounter a different surface today. Veteran GO GO GREEN has tumbled down the weights this year and is preferred to stablemates Lotara and Star Cracker. The 10-year-old has been running better than his form figures would suggest and could be a bit of value with the possibility that a low draw will prove an advantage.
