Verdict

Grenane, First Byte and Baytown Lulu look the three to concentrate on in this contest and the vote is given to Grenane. The selection won well last time out when beating Oblo and although he has a penalty for that win that form has since been franked and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. First Byte rates the main danger as he was third behind the selection last time out and he is better off with that rival here. However the selection won with plenty in hand and is taken to confirm his superiority over him. Baytown Lulu is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind AndLint as he should appreciate this longer trip and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Wizard Prince is one of the least exposed in the files and is another to note in the market but in a trappy affair for the winner we return to Grenane.
