In depth
Verdict
Juralan, Good Outlook and Indian Scout are three against the field in another competitive affair with the tentative vote going to Good Outlook. The selection won well a couple of runs ago and then was a fair second behind Flying Trix last time over a longer trip. The drop in distance will sit and if he does not burst a blood vessel as he did last time he will be hard to beat off what looks a fair mark.Juralan won well last time out when defeating Your A Gass Man but that was over hurdles and he returns to fences on a high enough mark. Indian Scout would be a danger to all on his best form but he has failed to complete the course in two of his last three runs so can not be backed with any confidence. Yann's was a fair third on his debut this season behind Banjo Hill and his stable are in better form now so he could run well at a price. Of the remainder Dorans Gold has the ability to win but has been beset by jumping problems of late so for the winner we return to Good Outlook.
