Verdict
Australia Day and Barizan finished practically upsides when filling the places behind Gold Futures in a similar contest here. With that pair hard to separate, JOIN THE CLAN gets the vote. He was well ahead of Barizan when runner-up at Worcester last month and should be bang there at the finish. Enchanted Garden has been upped 10lb for winning a lower grade race over track and trip in May and Rumble Of Thunder makes more appeal on his victory at Aintree in the same month.
