Verdict
Gabrial's Wawa beat Lujeanie and Archibald Thorburn when scoring over track and trip a week ago but could have been better drawn today. The same comment applies to Roy's Legacy, who is also better over 5f. GHOST TRAIN ran below par over a longer trip here last time but had gone close over course and distance on a couple of occasions before that. He may come good in this and is preferred to Mimi Luke, having her first start since winning a maiden race at Yarmouth in August.
