Verdict

MAORI BOB looked progressive prior to his last run when the ground was a feasible excuse for his defeat and with the step back up in trip likely to be in his favour, he could prove hard to beat. The well-handicapped Majeed couldn't be ruled out if he gets a decent pace to aim at and Koeman won over course and distance last time and has claims if he settles .
  1. Maori Bob
