Verdict
Seemingly So is 14lb better off than when only beaten half-a-length by Get With It at Perth in July but the latter has got into a nice rhythm and shouldn’t be far away again. However, CREATIVE CONTROL might complete a red-letter day for his yard by landing this finale given this is probably his easiest task to date over fences as he won off a 4lb higher mark over hurdles last season. Pitempton Power will strip fitter for his run here last month and Big Difference is back in the right grade so can’t be ignored.
