Verdict

Neil Mulholland has an excellent strike-rate around here and TELL THE TALE and while he was well beaten in a match-race last time, that rival has gone on to bigger and better things. His best efforts have come on quicker ground and a mark of 110 could well under-estimate him. Honey Pound is another who will enjoy the return to faster ground while any market support for Sweeping Rock would be interesting.
