Verdict

Unlike most of his rivals, GISELLES DEFENCE arrives in good nick and has no stamina concerns over this trip, so he's very much the percentage call. Oj Lifestyle isn't easy to assess but he's very well handicapped these days, with Mrembo more likely than not to bounce back from a lesser effort last time given her profile.
