In depth
Verdict
Mister Incredible, Christian Bendix and Union Jack Jackson are three against the field in another wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Christian Bendix. The selection won well last time out when beating North Fleet he again has conditions to suit and from a good draw he looks the one to be on Mister Incredible rates the main danger on his latest second behind Megalo Maniac buit he barley sees out this trip and with plenty of pace about he looks opposable. Union Jack Jackson is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best. Mind Alertis game and consistent and is sure to run his race, but he is hard to win with while Favouring is best when given an easy lead and as he looks sure to be taken on he is overlooked. With this in mind, for the winner we return to Mister Incredible.
