Verdict

In a trappy 7-runner handicap, veteran ELVIS MAIL could be the way to go given his fine record when fresh. Nab Wood is still lightly raced for his age and makes appeal back over 3m (unseated early on previous attempt), while it will be interesting to see what the market makes of the returning Esprit du Potier on handicap debut.
