In depth
Verdict
Another competitive contest rounds off proceedings with many in form rivals in opposition including Tbm Cam, Repulse Bay, Party Ploy and Kid'Z'play and we will take a chance on Repulse Bay. The five-year-old from the Jim Goldie yard was a fair fourth behind Tell Nothing last time and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close. Tbm Cam rates the main danger he won well at Warwick last time out when defeating Cork Harbour and he could still be ahead of the handicapper. Party Ploy won well last time out when defeating Raybaan but he had an easy lead on that occasion and he is not sure to get that here with Kid'Z'play in the field. Kid'Z'play would be a danger to all if the rain came but we are happy to side with Repulse Bay.
