In depth
Verdict
Vingis Park, Tradingup and Joe Deane are three against the field in a wideopen finale and the narrow vote is given to Vingis Park. The selection was a fair fourth behind Jolly Boy last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and off the same mark here he looks a value bet in an open affair. Tradingup rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Levllois but that was over a longer trip and he looks vulnerable under his penalty on this sharper track.Joe Deane would be a danger to all if his jumping holds up but that is a big if and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Just Ruben has place claims on his best form but is best when allowed to dominate and as he looks sure to be taken on for the lead he is opposed. If the remainder Treasulier is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but for the winner we return to the top weight Vingis Park.
