In depth

Verdict

Hadath, Shirley Oaks and True Night are the three for the shortlist in this claimer and the vote is given to Hadath. The selection is a frustrating type and he was a little disappointing here last time out. However, he is a course and distance winner and he should prove too strong now that he is dropped to this grade. Shirley Oaks rates the main danger as she has been in decent form of late. However, she is better over a slightly shorter trip and for that reason we will take her on. True Night is another eased in grade but he has been disappointing of late and he is fitted with a visor today which might see him in a better light. Banjo Bay is another with a chance but he has been off the track since September so might just need the run today, and for the winner we will return to Hadath.
