In depth
Verdict
Staff Nurse, Kentucky Bullet, and Lady Stratagem look the three to concentrate on in third competitive affair and the vote is given to Staff Nurse. The selection has been in fair form of late without winning but a reproduction of his latest third behind Zeloso would make him hard to beat. Kentucky Bullet rates the main danger on his second behind Ndola but he has since disappointed so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Lady Startagem is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Johnny Alljays but that was over a shorter trip and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Mr Whizz and Spanish Star have dropped to handy marks and are worth noting in the market but in a race were stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Staff Nurse.
