Verdict

GUARDED OPTIMIST (2) was a touch plain last time out but go on the two solid runner-up finishes in the starts prior. Drawn perfectly in gate four and should appreciate the extra furlong here. Rates the testing material. UP AND COMER (9) hasn't been too far off them in recent efforts and a top-three showing wouldn't surprise. FIRE AND LIGHT (18) is still a maiden but is usually thereabouts and looks one for the multiples. The well-related MAGADAN (3) (half to Listed winner and 2xG1 placed Swiftfalcon) was a dominant winner last start and can go back-to-back. THE KHAN (22) next in line from the favourable draw.
