      Verdict

      Kommander Kirkup is best on the Fibresand but has done all his winning so far over shorter distances and GREY DESTINY looks a safer proposition. The latter landed a double last month including a course and distance success and has been competing in tougher contests than this subsequently. Sooqaan was in fine form here at this time last year but his recent efforts leave plenty to be desired while Screaming Gemini can figure if taking to the surface but Baron Run has a bit to find with the selection on last month’s running here.
