Verdict

ZORBA THE GREEK has been running well of late and can register his second career success wearing blinkers for the first time in this opening apprentice handicap. The selection has finished runner-up off this mark the last twice and can get the better of Hard Toffee who was returning to form when finishing a close fourth last time out while Sunshineandbubbles, can claim third on her second run back following an absence.
  1. Zorba The Greek
