Verdict
Comrade Conrad should contend but is probably on a high enough mark and VICTARION is preferred. A beaten favourite last time, his overall profile makes greater appeal and the application of first-time blinkers could prove beneficial for the Hobbs inmate too. King Cool should be hard to keep out of the frame as he has a touch of speed but stays further than this too. He's a danger along with His Dream who stopped very quickly when pulled up last time but who quite impressed when scoring over the same course and distance previously. An erratic form profile makes him hard to assess but he does have ability at this level on a going day.
