Verdict

A few fading stars here and preference goes to form star chaser Macgeorge, who had a reasonable season last year and still looks capable on his day. At his best, Earthmover looks a danger but his last three runs have been poor suggesting his days are numbered as a major force. Trade Dispute will be the most reliable completer in the field and has place chances.
