Verdict
Hamadeenah looks to have been found a decent opportunity here and will take all the beating if he runs to form. Better Moment receives the nod for the forecast ahead of Rio Real on account of his long lay-off. That said the John Mackie-trained six-year-old has some decent form in the book and would be of interest if he were supported in the betting exchanges.
