        Verdict

        Encoded was winning for the first time in 16 attempts when successful over track and trip and beating a host of these in the process. Novabridge and Poppy In The Wind filled the places with Star Cracker, Windforpower and Fuel Injection all further behind. Cherry Oak scored over course and distance early last year and can race off a similar mark today but AMAZING AMAYA is less exposed and though returning from a lay-off, she was beaten less than a length here when last in action and gets a speculative vote to open her account.
