Verdict
Mucho Loco gets the confident vote in this claimer with Danish Blues and Under Fire rating the main dangers. The selection was a good fourth behind Night Cru last time out, that form has since been franked and with the drop in class sure to suit he will be hard to beat. Danish Blues rates the main danger on his best form and although disappointing last time out the return to this trip should suit and he should be noted in the market. Under Fire is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Final Tune but that was in a seller and this looks tougher. Lyrical Blues is another from a yard in form and should be noted in the market but in a poor claimer for the winner we return to Mucho Loco who sets a fair standard and will be hard to beat.
