In depth
Verdict
xNobodys Perfect, Great Jane and Duke Orsino are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Great Jane. The selection was a fair fifth behind Not Left Yet last time out, looks,sure to be suited by the drop in trip and under consitions that suit he looks a value bet in an open affair. Noboadys Perfect rates the main danger on his best form but he dissapointed for no apparent reason last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. Duke Orsino is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks in the handicapers grip at present. Of the remainder Its Bertie has conditions to suit and could go well at a price but he has been let down by his jumping of late and with this in mind for the winner we return to Great Jane.
