Verdict
A bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these events the market will be very informative but the principals look to be Brenin Cwmtudu, Raysrock and Award Winning and the narrow vote is given to Brenin Cwmtudu. The selection was a fair second behind Oberon Moon when last seen, that form has since been franked and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Raysrock rates the main danger on his best form but he has not progressed as expected of late and is taken on with this in mind. Award Winning has shaped with promise in two runs to date but he has already indicated he will be suited by a longer trip in time. Cresswell Ruby is another with place claims but she is another that is bred to be suited by further and for the winner we return to Brenin Cwmtudu.
