Verdict

KATABATIKA wasn't suited by the way things unfolded last time out but still ran well, and she still looks well in front of her mark. She can show how unlucky she was last time by making amends here. The Gay Cavalier is simply on too good a mark to be left out of the three and looks the one for the each-way players. Sky Eagle continues to progress and looks a danger as well. At a bigger price, Never A Word can be given a second look.
  1. Katabatika
  2. The Gay Cavalier
