    Verdict

    Cephalus was completing a hat-trick when scoring over track and trip a fortnight ago but SPARKA was beaten less than a length on that occasion, having run into trouble at a crucial point in the race, and Richard Fahey’s filly can turn the tables in this. Truely Aclaimed was narrowly beaten when last at this venue though hasn’t raced since October while Bungle Bay also returns from a lay-off and is upped in trip for his handicap debut.
