Verdict
Emotional Memories has placed a couple of times this season and Ginderella has also been showing some promise. Aldsworth found only one too good at Hereford but SAM’S AMOUR has put together a string of consistent performances and there is no reason why he won’t run his race again here if he stays the extra. Awesome Foursome also appears to hold solid claims while Rajaran is the least exposed and worth a market check.
