Verdict

TOO DARN FINESSE (9) was a touch disappointing last time out but the back-to-back wins prior were good enough for a race of this nature. Draws the inside alley and must be respected out of the Lees yard. Watch for a spike in form. HEY DAISY (7) is two from two around this circuit and will find this easier than recent Saturday metro efforts. Has the class to feature prominently. ARTFUL PERSUASION (3) is a two-time winner over this distance range and will be rock-hard fit for this contest. Top-three candidate on best figures. The well-related WARNA (8) (half to G2 winner Count De Rupee) gets in well at the weights with the claim and may earn some minor money. KEEP IT LOKI (11) next best from the low draw.
