Verdict

A tricky contest. Doctor Duffy is the obvious one, although he's probably flattered to get so close to Peregrine Run last time, and a well-run race at this trip will suit the promising POPONG, who beate a useful sort in decent style last time, and may well be underestimated. Foveros is respected, but his latest second hasn't worked out brilliantly, and he's a free goer who isn't certain to be better suited by the step up in trip.
  1. Popong
