Verdict

Off the mark at the 19th time of asking over hurdles for connections when landing a Perth 2m handicap hurdle last month, OROMO can defy a lenient 3lb penalty to win again. In a race where the selection wouldn't have to improve too much from his last success, James Boru who will be suited by the drop in trip and the returning Canford Lady look the most likely dangers.
  1. Oromo
  2. James Boru
  3. Canford Lady
