Iain Jardine's SUPERIOR COUNCIL is holding his form really well in handicap company and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to regain winning ways in this classified event. Course scorer Green Valentine is also weighted to have a say if galvanised by the refitting of headgear, while Ring of Gold, Chris's Mate and Catherine Chroi can't be totally dismissed either.
