|---|---|---|---|---|

A keen contest with Cuban Revolution and Aladdins Jem leading from Romanin. LORD GOLIATH (1) was very poor fresh up but is lengths better than that without question. Twice placed so for on wet ground. One to beat here on a rain-affected track. ROMANIN (6) is a big improver on her resumption run for fifth. Well drawn in this. Top tier chance here for multiples bettors. ALADDINS JEM (7) she has run well in both of her starts so far. Eachway all day here at home. HEPHAESTUS (4) was poor at his last start. Good run prior on debut. Suited here in a Highweight. Can pay a first dividend in this. KIRRAWEE (5) has been not too bad so far this time in. Chance here drawn the ace to place or be first four. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lord Goliath is a win wager.
