        Verdict

        Sun Power ended a losing run when scoring over a longer trip here and remains on a winning mark despite a 5lb penalty. Roaring Ralph has won twice over 7f this year but FIRST OF MAY has been racing on Turf since landing a double on the Tapeta and James Fanshawe’s filly gets another chance back on this surface. Roshambo is back on a winning mark and has been thereabouts lately.
