Verdict

Radar, Troll and Nobel are three against the field in a competitive contest, and the narrow vote is given to Radar. The selection won well last time out when beating Miss Proos, that form looks rock solid and although rising in the weights he again has conditions to suit and is taken to score. Troll rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Nerone, this looks tougher but his yard are in form and he should be closely watched in the market. Nobel is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks vulnerable under top weight. Super Baby is from a yard in form but the drop in trip has to be of concern. Of the remainder, Zeitgeist also hails from an in-form stable and could go well at a price, but his best form is on a faster surface and for the winner we return to Radar.
