    Verdict

    Gala Casino Star can win a gain at the expense of Ninefineirishmen and Reel Buddy Star. The selection was in winning form at Redcar last time out and looks well treated off only a five pound higher mark. He had run well in a couple of juveniles last year and did look well treated when scoring last time. With that in mind it may take the handicapper a couple more runs before he can get his own way. Ninefineirishmen showed improved from to finish second to Premier Danseur at Pontefract last time out. He runs off the same mark again here so any market support should be noted. The same can be said for Reel Buddy Star who was good enough to win a juvenile here last year and will have could on for his seasonal reappearance at Redcar so is worth noting. But for the winner we return to Gala Casino Star.
