Verdict
Megaudais Speed will probably need this and Deer Hunter has plenty to prove at present. Noble Savage was first past the post here eight days ago but disqualified having caused interference. He races off the same mark today so will make a bold bid for compensation but JUSTIFIED has his sights lowered and, in first-time cheekpieces, may offer more value. Begin The Luck is on a long losing run but Prince Nino and Tedwin Hills, second in a maiden here latest, remain relatively unexposed.
