      Verdict

      SLIP and Zero Cool are the two that we're interested in here although Blacktoft may also be able to give a good account. Slip has joined the Jim Boyle team from Marcus Tregoning but has yet to fire for his new connections including in blinkers last time. However, this is by far and away the easiest opportunity that he has been faced with and the drop in grade can see him achieve a first success for his new connections. Gary Moore's runners here always command respect and Zero Cool has a live chance at the weights. He has been beaten in similar events over course and distance the last twice and was behind Rapid City last time but is dangerous to dismiss. Rapid City could struggle to confirm the form at the weights whilst Blacktoft hasn't quite been hitting the heights of late so we'll take Slip to give the field the slip.
