In depth

Verdict

Mick Appleby runs Harbour Point, who dropped back to the minimum here earlier this month and led for a long way before weakening, and Bluelion, who was well beaten on his belated debut here. CAPLA SPIRIT made most in that former contest and was only caught on the line by the odds-on Rodin and that should be good enough for this. Anna Maria has looked one-paced in her two runs on Tapeta while The Cola Kid was beaten 10 lengths over 7f here on Thursday. Big Impact changed stables and made an encouraging debut for new connections when runner-up here earlier this month so looks the main threat.
