Verdict
Will You Win is consistent enough which is why the assessor can't drop him in the ratings despite being 0-24. MATER MATUTA has been in excellent form winning over fences and hurdles in the summer. She's 8lb higher than her victory at Bellewstown but has continued to run well and can go in again providing the ground doesn't turn heavy. Blackstone Cliff managed to win four races on the level and has improved with each run over timber but Light Parade has been staying on over further so could find this on the short side. Ucandoit ran her best race to date over the track and trip last time and wouldn't need much more to get involved.
