In depth
Verdict
INDIANA GREY gained her fourth track victory under Jack Kearney last week when scoring comfortably. She'll be 10lb higher this time so this looks tougher though none of the opposition are in the best of form. Malaysian ran poorly last time but would have a chance on her two previous runs and her new handler will be keen to get off to a good start. Well Suited hasn't won for two years though has dropped in the weights accordingly but Numidia is still a maiden after 16 starts and rarely runs over a trip this short.
