Verdict
SAO is on a long losing run but has fallen to a fair mark as a consequence and has the class to give weight away to these. Going Mobile has two ways of running but could figure if on a going day and the two chasing debutants, Well Educated and Fringill Dike, would not be without a chance. The latter, in particular, has always looked the type for fences and sports blinkers for the first time today. Edmond Dantes hasn’t fulfilled early promise but still looks the pick of the remainder.
