With the manner of WHODUNIT's last time out victory it's hard to see the six pound penalty stopping him with perennial near miss merchant Amber Moon looking to take advantage of any mishaps while Winged Farasi could be the each-way play. The selection was unchallenged when taking last timeout success over a mile at Kempton and it could be argued he has less to do this time. One of his nearest challengers that day was Amber Moon, who re-opposes, but even with terms swinging towards the picks rival it¿s hard to see Amber Moon bridging the gap. Winged Farasi has gone off the boil a bit in recent starts but has performed well off marks around this level in the past and a reproduction of his best efforts will have him in the mix. Trabulate has been consistent without really challenging but as a result is now very off a more than fair mark but if Whodunit can reproduce his form from his last run he should score.
