Verdict
Rapid City, Waterside and Gasat should be in the firing line but ZERO COOL is the way forward. Gary Moore has an excellent record in sellers and claimers at the track and Zero Cool has a leading chance on official figures. He has a 9lb swing in the weights with Rapid City for his four and a quarter length defeat over course and distance in December which should see him go close although it must be said that he has been a little disappointing since that run. Chief amongst the dangers is Waterside who is rated 7lbs higher than the Moore runner and represents a respected combination. However, he isn't certain to be suited by this longer trip and did disappoint when last seen although he must be granted some leeway given that it was his first run for the best part of a year. Gasat ran quite well over course and distance on his penultimate start but looked a little one paced over a three furlong longer trip last time and that counts against him here so we'll look to Zero Cool for our selection.
