In depth

Verdict

Flighty Fellow is a consistent performer and has been running well of late but Tim Easterby's gelding may be a shade high in the weights at present and preference is for Bobski, who gets the vote ahead of Kings Point. The last mentioned has not been in the best of form of late but Richard Fahey's six-year-old has slipped back to a winning mark as a result so has to be respected. Mick Channon's Wovoka is capable but is inconsistent so is hard to back with any confidence, while Just Bond returns to turf on a fair mark following success on the Polytrack. Wheels In Motion has failed to trouble the judge since making a winning debut as a juvenile but is gradually slipping to a fair mark. A safer bet though looks to be Geoff Huffer's Bobski who has been running well in defeat of late but has slipped to a winning mark and he is taken to make the most of that.
