Verdict
COMPLETE SIZING has started odds-on for all four runs between the flags and remains unbeaten. He looks a smart prospect in this discipline and, though meeting better opposition, can make it victory number five. Chosen Dream would ensure he had a race if anywhere near his best as he gained a shock victory at the big hunters' meeting at Stratford last June. He didn't run badly behind Ucello Conti at Fairyhouse last time so could be coming back into form. Nabraska was having only his second start when landing a maiden point at Tyrella but faces much better rivals including Winged Leader, three times a winner between the flags. Rewritetherules hasn't shown enough to recommend.
