In depth

Verdict

A tough race to call here for punters with many in with chances on their best form but the principals look to be The Bonus King,Calculaite. Able Mind and Best Game and the vote is given to The Bonus King. The selection was a fair third off this mark behind Redwood Rocks last time out and from what looks a good draw he looks a value bet in an open affair. Calculate rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Charlie Kennet especially as the drop in trip looks sure to suit. Able Mind is another with place claims on his latest third behind Instructor but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him on that occasion and for that reason he is opposed.Best Game could go well at a price if the first time visor brings about some improvement but in a race that throws up more questions than answers and where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to The Bonus King.
