      Verdict

      Kodiac's Back won over a mile here last month and has continued in excellent form, though could have done without another rise in the weights after a cracking effort a couple of weeks ago. The assessor has taken pity on DOC HOLLIDAY, who hasn't won for over a year though he hasn't been running badly recently so it's a surprise to see him dropped 5lb, which should enable him to get back on the winning trail. He had Artistic Integrity a long way behind here on Friday and the latter is also held by Jealika on earlier Turf form, though Mark Fahey's filly has run poorly on her only two starts on the track. Avalanche hasn't been beaten far in recent runs on Turf and would be a threat if taking to the surface.
