Verdict
Alligator Alley has been thereabouts in tougher sprints but finished behind runner-up SILKY WILKIE over track and trip last month. The latter will be sharper for the outing and can go one better in this lower grade. Khabib just failed to catch the winner over course and distance last time and is another to consider while Army Of India went close at Newcastle though is upped in class along with Dusky Prince.
