Verdict

A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the main protagonists look to be City Streets, Menelaus, Flash Cummins and Domenico and the vote is given to City Streets. The selection won well last time out when beating Fakima over course and distance and although rising in the weights he again has conditions to suit and he is a value bet in an open affair. Menelaus rates the main danger as he was behind the selection last time but is weighted to get a lot closer here and he will not be far away. Flash Cummings showed little on his first run of the season but could improve for the fitting of first-time cheekpieces so he should be watched in the market. Domenico was a fair second behind Glendora last time and is another with place claims but he is hard to win with. Jackie Boy is from a yard in top form and could go well at a price while Drumbeater looks vulnerable under top weight and for the winner we return to City Streets.
