Verdict

NUMIDIA looked well served by reverting to more patient tactics when opening his account over 1m here 2 weeks ago and gets the tentative vote to back that up returning to this longer trip. Power Drive, Final Fantasy and Wonder Spirit head up the dangers.

  1. NUMIDIA (IRE)
  2. POWER DRIVE
  3. FINAL FANTASY
