Verdict
FEAR NOTHING has scared the life out of punters so far but in a race of this nature he looks the best option. Winless from nine starts, the John Fretwell-owned gelding comes here on the back of getting turned over at 1/3 on his last run. He holds Papageno on that run and despite the eye-catching booking of Richard Hughes for the last-named should confirm the placings. Blinkers are tried on the (seemingly) regressive Final Turn, whilst Little Rufus shaped with some promise over 400 days ago. Nadinska represents a trainer in good form, whilst Socceroo has an in-and-out profile but her latest flop at Southwell is probably best forgotten.
