In depth
Verdict
The Staggery Boy, Isam Top, Get The Point, Speedy Richard and River Amora look the principals in another open affair and the tentative vote is given to The Staggery Boy. The selection was a good second behind Torongo last time out and with this slightly longer trip sure to suit he will be hard to beat. Isam Top rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Acertrack but he has had plenty of chances and is becoming hard to win with so he is passed over on this occasion.Get The Point is another that could go well but although he travels well in his races he finds little off the bridle. Of the remainder Speedy Richard and River Amora have dropped to handy marks and are worth noting in the market but in although race to call for the winner we return to The Staggery Boy.
