Verdict
Though up against largely race-fit rivals, FAIRWAY FREDDY has a pretty good strike-rate and he’s not badly treated if on a going day. Only Money has an even longer absence to overcome while Trumps Benefit has been beaten off lower marks the last twice. Barest Of Margins is still a maiden, though has been lightly raced and has finished second twice in three runs over fences.
