Verdict

Sir Cumference,Petolinski and Indian Squaw are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Sir Cumference. The selection was nailed on the post by Petolinski last time out but he is better off at the weights with that rival here and that swings the verdict in his favour. Petolinski rates the main danger but strictly on these terms he has a little to find with the selection and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Indian Squaw is another worthy of respect as he was a fair second behind Mrs Be last time and looks to be on a handy mark so he should be monitored in the market. Of the remainder Armageddon is from a shrewd yard and is another that could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Sir Cumference.
