Verdict
Fast ground has unquestionably damaged field sizes and MINISTEROFINTERIOR is the speculative pick with Raider Of The East and Ferrando served up as the alternatives. The selection was disappointing last time out in plating company but its worth noting that the winner has come out and won well again since. In receipt of the allowances this afternoon, he could be worth another chance. Raider Of The East is still a maiden after nine starts. He is yet to fully realise the potential that his bumpers suggested. Ferrando returns from two years off the track. A useful sort when trained by Alan Swinbank, it remains to be seen as to what he has to offer for new connections. Ninety Nine Looks represents a yard that are among the winners so watch the market. Leprechaun's Gold shouldn't be good enough. Ministerofinterior is selected in a race of limited betting appeal.
