Verdict
Treaty Of Rome has won two of his last three starts on the Fibresand including last week’s success for which he’s penalised. But he was beaten over track and trip in January by BIG AMIGO despite receiving weight and will do well to reverse running on today’s terms. The latter has subsequently recorded a third victory course and distance with Meshardal and Crosse Fire behind and another bold bid looks likely from Daniel Loughnane’s charge.
