In depth
Verdict
Viva Voce and Danielsflyer were both successful over a mile on the Tapeta last time but Anif scored over track and trip when just getting the better of Satin Snake. Novak went close once again recently but has had plenty of chances while both Lord Abama and STREAK LIGHTNING placed over 6f on their latest starts. But the latter has won over course and distance in the past and Ruth Carr’s charge should make a bold bid dropping down in class having also scored at this fixture last year.
