My Condor, Arumun and Overspin look the main protagonists here and ARUMUN is given a tentative vote in a trappy finale. My Condor was not scoring out of turn when winning here over the course and distance two outings ago, and he was a casualty when beaten on his latest start. He can reach the frame. Overspin has shown ability on fast ground, however his recent efforts have been disappointing and his jumping let him down last time. Arumun had been sliding down the handicap before scoring in game fashion last time. He enjoyed the fast ground and with conditions similar here and only 3lbs higher, he can score once more. Arumun can follow up.
