In depth

Verdict

Takes Tutu, Redeye Special and Rakata are three against the field in another minefield for punters and the vote is given to Takes Tutu. The selection was a good second behind Logsdail last time out. That form has since been franked and off the same mark he will be hard to beat. Redeye Special rates the main danger on his latest second behind Writ but that form has since been let down and he is passed over for that reason. Rakata is another that could go well but he has risen in the weights for getting beat last time so looks worth taking on. Of the remainder, October Ben was a fair second behind Dancing Guest last time but he gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and in a tough race to call we return to Takes Tutu to lead them home.
