      Verdict

      Altra Vita made it five wins form six starts this year with last week’s success at Ffos Las. She should make another bold bid from the front, despite a penalty, though SUGARLOAF MOUNTAIN (NAP) is just preferred. The latter scored over track and trip a fortnight ago when beating the re-opposing Mambo Dancer and can effectively race off a lower mark today with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account. Tuff Rock has only won a maiden race so far and steps down in class but up in distance while the remainder are harder to recommend.
