Verdict

COSMIC CRUSADER (5) was off a long break last week when going to the front and bolting in. It was a statement win and he now finds himself at the top of betting for the G1 Railway in a couple months' time. On the quick turnaround, but he's a classy animal who can make it four wins on the bounce. SENSESSIONAL (2) went back-to-back last start as the odds-on favourite when winning by 0.2L over the mile here. He'll handy all conditions and if Cosmic Crusader rolls forward, Pike should be there to strike from his good barrier. Third-up now and can keep the winning streak alive. KAPTAIN KAOS (4) just missed behind Sensessional last start before a 3.1L defeat in the Farnley last time out. Back up to the mile now is a big tick and he's racing in good order. Can be in the finish again. VAST ART (3) is better than he showed last time out and can improve getting back onto a firmer deck. AUTUMN REBEL (6) is in the same boat and is right in the mix as he drops in weight.
