CABALLO DE MAR (5) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by one length over 2800m at this track. Yet to be beaten at this trip from two starts and he looks hard to stop again. GIBSIDE (6) on the synthetic for the first time today on his return from a spell of six months. Kicked off the last campaign with a eighth at York over 2390m. Among the leading chances. HUMBLE SPARK (2) was well beaten in stronger company two starts back then found a better race last time and scored by 1.5 lengths over 2200m at this track. Among the leading players again. HIGH COURT JUDGE (7) started at $4.30 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 7 lengths, at Newcastle All Weather over 3260m. Hector Crouch who has scored on him five times retains the mount. Don't underestimate.
