In depth

Verdict

Mostly seen over hurdles nowadays, Superius was a decent performer on the Flat in Ireland back in 2008, but he looks flattered by his current rating judged on his latest modest effort over 1m2f here. It's also difficult to enthuse about Grande Caiman, who failed to show any improvement last time despite the handicapper giving him a chance and preference goes to SUNTRAP. He ran up to his current mark when fifth behind Gunslinger in a handicap here last month and can take advantage of today's drop in class. Resplendent Light makes most appeal of the remainder.
