Verdict

IN THE RED has not fared that well with the draw but there's little in the way of early pace here and he might be able to get across to lead these. A winner here in January, he can continue in good form with victory here. Master Diver and Global Tango are both open to improvement and look obvious dangers, and La Maquina is one that's under the radar a bit, but has potential to do better now dropped back in trip.
