Verdict

This step up in trip is likely to unlock improvement in SHOWURAPPRECIATION, who was doing his best work at the finish when third in a big-field over 2m at Gowran last time. He is marginally preferred to Friends N Commerce, who deserves to pick up a race and is likely to make a bold bid to shed his maiden tag here. Easy Fella is best of the rest, though Trackman Tommy is also worth a second look.
