In depth
Verdict
Banker Count, gets the confident vote with Deliceo and Abalvino heading the list of dangers. The selection won well last time out when defeating Captains Table and although he has a penalty for that win he has won off as much higher mark in the past and with conditions again in his favour he is hard to opposed. Deliceo rates the main danger on her best form but she was very dissap;ointing in a better race last time out and although this looks easier she looks weighted up to her best and is passed over on this occasion. Abalvino is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Batswing but he has never won over this trip before and he is over looked for that reason. Strong Magic has dropped to a handy mark ands is worth noting in the market but he has been breaking blood vessels of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Athnowen is another that looks to be on a good mark and he would be a danger to all if his jumping holds up but that is a big if and for the winner we return to Banker Count.
