Verdict

Few arrive in decent form and but ONEBABA is an exception having won two of his last three outings including last week’s course and distance victory. He should confirm running with Archimedes and previous course winner Jazz Legend despite today’s penalty and can go in again. Bold Decision finished runner-up in a classified contest when last on the Fibresand while Bringing Glory remains unexposed and debuts on the surface.
