In depth

Verdict

Taravara is 0-15 but is rarely beaten far. Alpha King may have not stayed 1m6f at Ffos Las while Simply Sondheim is on a roll. The improving SUPER CHIEF starts off in handicaps on a generous-looking mark having produced an eye-catching run attempting this trip for the first time at Nottingham. Savrola has been running well over a mile and is preferred to Yarralumla of the others.
