In depth
Verdict
Arzaak won a lower grade contest by a head over track and trip last month though the runner-up has been well beaten subsequently and course regular SAMOVAR makes more appeal. The latter finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when beaten a length here last time and Scott Dixon’s charge is taken to go one better and confirm latest running with Scale Force and Red Stripes in the process.
