In depth
Verdict
The progressive Dado Mush gets the confident vote in the finale with Wodhill Gold and Sophia Gardens rating the main dangers. The selection has been in the form of his life of late and won well last time when beating My Memtor. Granted he is rising in the weights but this race lacks strength in depth and he is taken to win again. Wodhill Gold rates the main danger as she beat Krakatau last time out, however this looks more competitive and she may be vulnerable under her penalty. Sophia Gardens is another last time out winner but she won a fillies handicap and she will need to improve again to defy the handicapper. Dudley Docker goes well over course and distance but looks vulnerable under top weight and for the winner we return to Dado Mush who has been a revelation of late.
