Verdict
An interesting little handicap in which a decent gallop seems assured with Michele Strogoff in the field but she does appear to require further respite from the handicapper at present. Elysium Dream is steadily dropping down the weights but recent efforts remain relatively disappointing although a first-time visor may elicit improvement. Juanito Chico usually runs his race, whilst Chance is improving but now steps up in grade after landing a Class 6 handicap latest. LETHAL MISSILE (NAP) is nicely progressive and delivered a career-best effort when scoring at Windsor and looks the sort to improve further with trip and ground ideal for Cox inmate.
