      Verdict

      SPARTAN FIGHTER (NAP) bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins raised only 2lb for his latest success. He can confirm latest running with Ghathanfar and go in again. Ginato has gone close in lower grade sprints here recently and Ben Macdui should be sharper for last month’s comeback having slid down the weights last year but Badri has been off the track since 2020 and debuts for new connections.
