Verdict
Marko Jadeo has slipped to a fair mark and has to be respected but would need to improve on his reappearance effort to trouble the judge and a better bet looks to be Night Prospector, who gets the vote ahead of Punching. The last mentioned has run to a consistent level of form of late and Gay Kelleway's gelding has to be respected. Michael Wigham's Macademy Royal has been running well without winning and should again be thereabouts but may once more have to settle for minor honours. Camissa has struggled since winning her maiden at Windsor in May and may need some more help from the handicapper. Monashee Brave faces no easy task giving weight away all round and preference is for Night Prospector. The four-year-old should come on for his reappearance in a claimer here last month and looks worth a bet off his new mark.
