Verdict
Mamore Gap, Our Destiny, Alafzar and Mobo-Baco look the principals in this this poor seller and the tentative vote goes to the last named. The selection has been in fair form in slightly better races of late and with the drop in class and this faster ground sure to suit he is taken to get his head in front. Mamore Gap rates the main danger he is taking a big drop in class and is sure to be suited by these faster conditions. However he has looked far from straight forward of late and for that reason he is opposed. Our Destiny is another worthy of respect he will appreciate the drop back in trip and has definite place claims. Alafzar is another worthy of respect on his best form but his best efforts of late have come with more cut in the ground. This is a very poor race and stakes should be kept to a minimum but for the winner we return to Mobo Baco.
