    Verdict

    Archie Watson looks to have found a good opportunity for MEHMENTO despite today’s penalty. The latter made a winning debut with a facile victory over course and distance and can go in again in this company. Driftwood looks the only threat to the selection on the back of a string of placed efforts here, including a second in handicap company over track and trip earlier in the week. The remaining trio have shown no form worthy of a mention so far.
