Verdict
OBSESSION should be able to open his account in this company. He improved on his debut effort to finish runner-up behind Western Prize over C&D last month and another step forward here will be enough to hold off today's opposition. Rojo Boy went close on his recent reappearance and is preferred to stablemate and newcomer Sunley Surprise, while better is expected from the so far disappointing pair of Brandy Alexander and Neighbourhood. Gottany O'S makes most appeal of the newcomers but Lakota Ghost could prove a bigger threat.
