In depth

Verdict

Elerslie Tom gets the vote here with Jazz Scene rating the main danger. The selection won in facile fashion last time out when beating Whistle Blowing and although having a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and is taken to score. Jazz Scene rates the main danger as he win well last time when beating War At Sea but he was very keen on that occasion and as he looks likely to be taking on for the lead he looks worth taking on. Raffish has shown very little and is readily opposed and for the winner we return to Elerslie Tom.
