Verdict

Centre card, but head and shoulders the weakest race of the evening. Ghostly Arc edged out WEATHER FRONT when scoring by a head over C&D last month, and given the weight of pre-race support for the Karen McLintock trained runner, it's perhaps a surprise to see Sebastian Woods retain the mount tonight. However, in defence of his pilot, Weather Front fluffed the start and was previously unproven over this trip. That said; the suspicion is that he should've really beaten the Noel Wilson trained rival and he can be fancied to extract his revenge tonight in a very weak contest even by Class 6 standards. Of the remainder, market support could be telling for Colour Contrast.
  1. Weather Front
  2. Colour Contrast
  3. Ghostly Arc
