Verdict
Starsong never threatened when bidding for a hat-trick but Brazen Idol landed a treble when successful at Kempton in September and returns to action raised 7lb. But CAPTAIN VALLO took advantage of a slide down the weights when scoring over track and trip last month and remains on a winning mark despite a 3lb rise. Kapono has also won off higher marks in the past and may prove best of the rest.
