Verdict
Quest For Fun bids for a hat-trick raised 4lb after scoring over track and trip a fortnight ago. Aberama Gold and Call Me Ginger filled the places while Summer Sands and Black Friday finished further behind and Julie Camacho’s charge can figure again. Toussarok faces a tougher task after winning at Epsom while Jordan Electrics arrives in good form having won at Hamilton earlier but STREAMLINE (NAP) makes most appeal. Linda Perratt’s charge has improved for wind surgery having won off higher marks in the past and makes a quick reappearance after posting a much better effort at Hamilton three days ago.
