In depth
Verdict
Another dreadful race for punters with jockeyship all important, and with this in mind, the principles look to be Borora, Ressource and Saafend Rocket, but Ressource gets the vote. The gelding from the Gary Moore yard has a good jockey booked and a reproduction of his latest second behind Governor Daniel will make him hard to beat. Borora is another that could go well. He is one of the least exposed in the field and was a fair third behind Welcome to Unos last time. Saafend Rocket won well last time out over a shorter trip, and he has yet to prove he stays this far. Rimosa and Graw Valley are others to consider in a wide open affair, but in a race where minimal stakes are advised, we will stick with Ressource.
