In depth
Verdict
The form of Eiger's Ripon run has worked out particularly well and TEAMtalk expect this son of Indian Ridge to land the odds. His main danger will be Circuit Dancer who had been running well in better class races than this and has been given a nice break by his trainer. Expect him to be involved in the shake-up. Best of the rest may be Lemagurut but will need to improve on his previous two runs. On experience alone Wise Petorius may run into a place.
