In depth
Verdict
GIUSTINO (NAP) showed little in maidens at the backend of last season but made a very encouraging reappearance when staying on over a mile at Gowran and gets the nod. War Thunder showed his first sign of form over the track and trip earlier this month and makes his handicap debut. He holds Lifetime Legend on that run while White Pepper also ran well at the same fixture and Sam Ewing's claim can again see her in contention. Dinamine has hinted at ability though hasn't been further than 7f.
