Verdict

This could fall to Weet Yer Turn, with Indigo Dancer and Star Fern also expected to run well. Mark Brisbourne's four-year-old returned from a holiday with a tremendous effort last week, finshing just behind Elm's Schoolboy. He should be open to plenty of improvement and looks the best option here. Indigo Dancer was successful over course and distance in April and looked on the way back last time when four lengths behind Miss Porcia, he should figure in the finish. Star Fern displayed much improved form last time and and is another course and distance winner to consider. The pick of the others could be Bubbling Fun, but in a wide open affair Weet Yer Turn is the speculative choice.
