In depth
Verdict
Placed four times in his last six starts, JUST SHOOT ALREADY was a very disappointing favourite over a shorter trip here last month in a race in which Happy Guy finished runner-up. Michael Wright’s gelding probably deserves a chance to recoup losses in this, however. Wowza Man has shown a little improvement lately and this is a big drop in class so a big effort is anticipated. Alvarado is making his debut at a lowly level so is worth a market check.
