In quite a competitive event, Adalar gets the call ahead of Anduril, York Cliff, Mobo Baco and Dagola. The selection has been knocking at the door lately and it must surely open for him one day. His course and distance effort seven days ago certainly gave the impression that he should get some joy in that direction and we reckon that it could be today. York Cliff has a string of duck eggs to his name but, at this lowly level, has to be considered if putting his best foot forward, while Anduril¿s course win last time showed that he was making strides in the right direction. Mobo Baco and Dagola are usually never far away and also command some respect, and Risk Factor and Tyneham find themselves firmly in the equation based on official ratings. Overall, though, we will side with Adalar.
