In depth
Verdict
A wide open race here with many in form rivals in opposition including Mount Superior, Star Lad, Above Board and The Gay Fox and we will side with Mount Superior. The eight-year-old won well last time out when defeating Aguila Loco and although he has a penalty for that win he is taken to score again as he looked the type that would improve. Star Lad rates the main danger as he won a seller a couple of runs ago but disappointed last time. Above Board is another that could go well but he looks to have plenty of weight. Of the remainder The Gay Fox will have the race run to suit and could go well at a big price, but for the winner we return to Mount Superior.
