In depth

Verdict

Maktavish,Banjo Bay and Henry Tun are three against the field in another desperate affair and the vote is given to Maktavish. The selection won well last time out when beating Lady Bahia, he remains from on a fair mark and with the race sure to be run to suit he will be hard to beat. Banjo Bay rates the main danger on his latest second in similar grade behind Up Tempo especially as the drop in trip is sure to suit. Henry Tun won well last time out when beating Hes A Rocket and again there should be very little between them on these terms is a very trappy affair and the market could be very informative but for the winner we return to Maktavish.
