        Verdict

        Urban Highway ran his best race so far when second over 6f at Windsor but has already run twice over this longer trip without pulling up any trees. Tulloona is among the least exposed and makes his handicap debut. He’s shown enough to suggest he’ll be in the firing-line with Stormbomber probably also open to improvement. The booking of Silvestre De Sousa for CROMWELL suggests a drop back to 7f could suit Luke Dace’s charge, who should be a working man’s price with conditions an unknown. Laxmi is tried in cheekpieces.
