Verdict

A real tough one to call; and siding with BARRALAND is a far from confident recommendation; Angaric, having won an apprentices' race in good style earlier in the month, is also respected, while Braille is an interesting one to note in the betting. Another to bear in mind is: Top Flight Splash, who was quite well supported last time out but failed to sparkle after missing the break (the hood being removed late didn't help). She is no world beater but might be capable of better in a race like this. However, Barraland has started to show more enthusiasm of late and represents good value at the likely odds. Dropping in the trip may provide the key for a return to winning ways and, even though only a small investment is advised, Barraland shouldn't be underestimated in a weak race like this.
