Verdict

This looks an above average seller for the track with a number of participants having fair form in better company. Stringybank Creek is usually thereabouts without having enough to win but he catches the eye with a good claimer on board. Dapper Man is weighted to be competitive and he has scored over C&D. MR STRUTTER has winning form at this level and in better company. His last few efforts have not escaped the attention of the handicapper, but he can be relied upon to give an honest account and that makes him attractive in this company.
