Verdict
An impossible-looking nursery and it's nature is likely to be reflected in the betting. Gheedaa is the least exposed and an opening mark of 81 could be lenient if she progresses again. Man Of Verve is improving with experience and Drop Kick Murphi is on a roll. Savannah Slew has won two of her last three but, like Party Tiger, steps up a grade. LA CASA TARIFA ran poorly here at the St Leger meeting but was far from disgraced subsequently in a hot nursery at Newmarket. She was only third behind Harome at Hamilton in August but should reverse that running on 11lb better terms and wouldn't be the first from her yard to rediscover her form late in the season. White Royale could also figure if translating her Tapeta form but Turanga Leela seems better when there is more emphasis on speed.
