Verdict
Friendly Vegan’s run at Southwell was too bad to be true and it’s interesting that Callum Rodriguez prefers him to the returning Heights Of Aran. Time To Rumble has looked modest so far and Shivraj also requires improvement but Kardinya is interesting back on Turf. BA NA HILLS, a winner at Newcastle in March, has placed in both starts since and the uphill finish here should play to his strengths.
