Verdict

CHECKMATE (3) scored last start in the LR Trevor Eagle Memorial at this track to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Has upside galore and could well be unbeaten so far. DOMAIN ACE (1) is a class dropper here. Course winner. Dual winning rider atop. No negatives here whatsoever for this gelding. WHISKEY 'N ROSES (2) he has run well in two of four runs this time in. Better barrier in this so he cannot be excluded from anywhere. CUSTOMIZED (6) is a class dropper here on his last start. Trifecta and first four chance in this. YALDI (8) has drawn the ace gate. Won his only start clockwise. A chance and the price will be much better this time too.
