Verdict

This could finally be PLY's moment to get off the mark. Roger Charlton's charge has been much more impressive since switching from maidens, where he was in all likelihood not quite up to the task, to handicaps, and has posted two very good efforts in this sphere so far. Proven on this surface and over this trip he could have further improvement in him but won't need to find too much to hit the frame. Dark Titan should be winning handicaps soon and is another for the shortlist, while Asaas should benefit from his reunion with Silvestre De Sousa.
  1. Ply
