Verdict
Julius Geezer drops into plating company having won three times over 6f this year while Lesley's Choice will appreciate the return to this level having scored twice over C&D early in the season. Powerful Wind cut no ice when tried in this grade last month but Clubland won a seller at this track earlier and RED CAPE landed a claimer here on his penultimate start. The latter gets a token vote ahead of Triple Eight in a wide-open plating race.
