Verdict

A disappointing turn-out given the prize money on offer, but cases can be made for all four runners and tactics will play a big part. With no obvious frontrunner in the race, it would be no surprise to see DAREBIN try to force the pace off his low weight and, if doing so, he may be able to run the finish out of his three rivals, who each seem to have their share of weight. Capeland is the most heavily penalised of these following his recent exploits, but he is progressive and has to be respected, while Yorkist comes with risks attached and Poker School may prefer a sounder surface.
