Verdict
GREAT COLACI beat Chosen World when scoring over a mile here a week ago. He can confirm running over this shorter trip having been narrowly beaten over course and distance on his penultimate start with Strong Steps behind. Billy Wedge hasn’t raced since January but Redesdale Rebel won over track and trip between moderate efforts over a mile. Fair Alibi has a bit to prove over today’s distance having placed over 6f here last time.
