Verdict
Charava and Dark Crystal won their respective divisions of the same handicap here a week ago. The latter won in a faster time but beat DARK COMMAND by only a neck and Michael Dods’ charge can turn the tables on much better terms. Prolific course winner Goninodaethat is preferred to stablemate Lady Cordie as Jim Goldie attempts to win this for the third time in succession while Tanawar could also go well off his current mark. Fire Diamond needs to improve but has plenty of scope to do so.
