Verdict

Steel Express, De Bene Esse, and ADMIRAL BLAKE have all come up against Garrane in recent weeks and that line would favour the former. However, the other pair have improved significantly since and the selection receives plenty of weight on ground that may be attritional. The veteran was most unlucky next time and he is taken to gain compensation. Gonnabegood is the principal danger and Quinto will go close if handling the ground.
  1. Admiral Blake
