Verdict
Bazroy is preferred to Super Frank and Resplendent Alpha. The selection has gone up by 2lbs for his course and distance second on his latest start but that was his first attempt at seven furlongs and he has room for improvement at the trip. He'll need the gaps to appear at the right time but is handicapped to go close. Resplendent Alpha has spoilt his chances by starting slowly of late and similar antics this afternoon could put paid to his chances once again. Super Frank is harder to predict as he has won four times over course and distance but failed to make the frame on his other visits. He's back down to the mark from which he was last successful though and should make a bold bid to make all. Imperial Echo makes his all-weather bow on his debut for Derek Shaw and needs a market check whilst Landucci is unlikely to be far away but Bazroy earns the vote.
