Verdict

None of these are particularly trustworthy or consistent and all come here with chinks in their armour. Guerrilla Tactics isn’t harshly handicapped but has returns from a break with conditions looking tough. Black Narcissus is another who looks well-in at the weights but again isn’t the most consistent while Withoutdefavourite is still a maiden despite having the weights in his favour. SAROQUE isn’t the easiest to deal with but this is a major drop in class and if he gets an easy lead he could well be dangerous. Shanann Star tends to run well around here but hasn’t looked in the best of form lately and needs to travel better than of late to take a hand.
  1. Saroque
  2. Guerrilla Tactics
  3. Withoutdefavourite
