In depth

Verdict

Arran Scout, Mount Hillaby and Resonate are three against the field in a wide open affair and the vote is given to Mount Hillaby. The selection won well last time out when defeating Tokewaana and although he is rising in the weights he won with a little in hand and is taken to win again. Arran Scout rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Armatore but this looks more competitive and for that reason he is opposed. Resonate was a fair third behind Burgundy last time and is another with place claims but he looks weighted up to his best of the remainder Acomb looks to be on a handy mark and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Mount Hillaby.
