    In depth

    Verdict

    Malcheek gets the confident vote here with Angaric and Bold Marc rating the main dangers. The selection ran well to be third behind Bustan last time out considering how hard he pulled he again has conditions to suit and off the same mark he looks the one to be on. Angaric rates the main danger on his latest second behind Stoic Leader but he continues to rise in the weights for getting beat and he is taken on with this in mind. Bold Marc is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he has been plenty of times off this sort of mark. Of the remainder Kabis Amigos has been running well in lower grade races while Countdown looks the stable;s second string on jockey bookings and for the winner we return to Malcheek.
