In depth
Verdict
Game Beaaa was only fourth when Methodtothemagic won here at the start of the month. Riggsby’s run on the same day here was too bad to be true but it’s about time COCONUT TWIST was getting his head in front with the drop back in trip not a problem. Skeeter Park and Clean Getaway also have claims while Bensini justified market support at Worcester and can’t be ignored.
