Verdict

This is a pretty tricky claimer to call but with a top conditional jock removing five pounds from MISARO's back he looks just best at the weights while Klynch is respected as the highest rated in the field and Charles Parnell is also on the shortlist. Twice a winner at this track in the past the selection now looks weighted to reverse a result with Desperate Dan on their last meeting. It's not as though he's wildly out of form either and the way this race is framed he should make it third time lucky in this grade. Klynch was once considered a Group class horse and although he has been out of the frame in recent starts that could have been down to a high looking mark and now back in this grade he should be seen in a better light. Charles Parnell turned in a good performance in this grade last time and should go well again now back over his preferred distance while River Kirov is interesting dropped to this level for the first time. Not the most straight forward claimer you¿ll come across but Misaro looks just the best treated.
