In depth
Verdict
There are some serious question marks hanging over the majority of this field with amongst others, No Kidding, Rigadoon and Over The Burn not sure to be suited by conditions. Phar Echo won a little race here a few weeks ago and wouldn't have to improve too much to go in again. Superior Weapon might give Phar Echo most to think about after a decent effort against a fair sort at Perth last time out.
