Verdict

There's plenty to like about GIUSEPPE GARIBALDI's profile coming in to this and there could be more to come stepped up in trip here. Flag Of Honour can't be ruled out if handling the ground here while Pallasator produced something like a career best last time out and may prove to be the main danger.
  1. Giuseppe Garibaldi
  2. Flag Of Honour
  3. Pallasator
