Verdict

The thriving EVERYLITTLESTEP had something in hand at Gowran earlier in the week and can complete a 4-timer. Sondheim rates an obvious threat after a couple of fine placed efforts since equipped with blinkers. Andrew Slattery's Rock Etoile is also respected after his close fourth at Gowran on Wednesday.
