Verdict

American Sniper and Twinjets were both well beaten in tough handicaps last time and both carry double penalties back at this level - the latter is preferred of that pair. GAME WINNER is also penalised but landed the odds over track and trip with the minimum of fuss and further progress looks likely. The remainder have shown little so far though All A Struggle has had wind surgery since finishing behind the selection and may do better today.
