Verdict

Arlequin De Sou and Cassia Heights are closely matched on their running here in March and this will be reflected in a tight market. TEAMtalk preference goes to Cassia Heights who has the advantage of a recent run and comes from an in-form stable. Arlequin De Sou, undoubtedly a talented chaser, also hails from an in-form yard though he has needed his first run of the season in the past. The Eens is an in and out performer who can run his race on occasions but cannot be relied upon here. Prominent Profiles has run well at this time of the year in the past but his overall level of form is below what is required here.
