Most of these find it difficult to string together a sequence of good performances, so siding with WAHOO SAM is not without an element of caution. Landucci and McCormack are others entitled to respect at this level, while Lady Amberlini ran well on her first start for Connor Dore last month and she can also go close if she keeps her temper in check. Having won off a mark as high as 76 in the past, the selection, fresh from a success in Guernsey, he is very well treated just now. Wahoo Sam is also more versatile regarding the ground than most of his rivals and he can be fancied to strike again now he has rediscovered winning ways. Landucci has a similar profile and look the biggest threat.
