Verdict
Trixster’s best run so far came on heavy going and he was also engaged yesterday at Warwick. In his possible absence, MAC TOTTIE should complete his hat-trick and win for a third time in four starts despite carrying penalties upped again in trip. Farocco is another trying a new distance but he has been placed a couple of times on good ground and makes more appeal than the returning Mead Vale, who has shown little so far.
