Verdict

CENTRAL COMMAND proved a different proposition when stepped up to 1¼m and fitted with a first-time visor at Newcastle 21 days ago, overcoming a pace bias in the style of one well ahead of his opening mark. He could well follow up if proving as well suited by turf. Ephron got off the mark on handicap debut recently and should stay this longer trip, while Bnaider looks a stayer in the making.
