Verdict
COLOURBEARER has gone close on turf before despite having done all his winning on the all-weather and Milton Bradley's charge may be up to winning this on his return to action. Waabel is another without a win on this surface, though he's been in better form on Polytrack of late, while Speak The Truth is capable of popping up at this level on his day and Alpha Delta Whisky could figure back on a winning mark and dropped in class. Welsh Inlet won over C&D winner last year but, given that was her only win in 35 starts, she's hard to recommend.
