Verdict
James Fanshawe may have at last found a winning opportunity for Etching who is the call here ahead of Peggy Lou and Zadok The Priest. The selection has made the frame in his last four starts and with the opposition looking distinctly weak he should finally break his maiden tag over a trip that looks sure to suit. Peggy Lou was a winner earlier in the year and generally is a consistent type but she may be too high in the weights at present. Zadok The Priest has shown his liking for this track in the past and should be refreshed from a mid-season break. The trip should suit and he may be the one to get closest to the selection Etching.
