In depth
Verdict
Zhitomir, Henry Bernstein and Methusaleh are three against the field in this claimer and the tentative vote is given to Zithomir. The selection has conditions to suit is dropping in class and with his yard in form he looks a value bet in an open affair. Henry Bernstien rates the main danger on his latest third behind Pleasure Time. However, even that form leaves him with a little to find. However, he could improve for the fitting of a first time tounge tie. Methusaleh is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with. Amazing King was a staying on third behind Bold Indian last time and is another with place claims but the suspicion is he will be seen to even better effect over a longer trip and with this in mind for the winner we return to Zhitomir to small stakes.
