In depth
Verdict
The may boil down to a match between Zavikon and STRINGYBARK CREEK . The latter comes into this on the back of a rock-solid effort and will be hard to peg back if able to throw down a similar challenge. Swendab knows how to win a race and can capitalise on any weaknesses from the rest. Coronation Cottage wouldn't want too much rain but is best of the rest on the evidence available.
