In depth
Verdict
Madison Avenue, Brochrua and Pop Gun are three against the field in this poor seller and the narrow vote is given to Madison Avwenue. The selection is driopping in grade has conditions to suit and in a poor affair he looks a value bet. Brochrua rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Lady Maranzi but his best form is on a slightly faster surface and he is taken on with this in mind. Pop Gun is another that could go well on his latest third behind Saphire Night but he has yet to prove he stays this far. Of the remainder Miss Rideamight is unexposed and is from a yard in form but he will not get any assistance from the saddle and he is taken on with this in mind. This is a poor affair and stakes should be kept to a minimum but for the winner we return to Madison Avenue.
