In depth
Verdict
Ghadames has been in good form of late but was slightly disappointing last time out on rained softened ground, however again with conditions on the fast side he should be hard to beat. Joint Account will also love the conditions but he has never won off a mark this high. Gatorade could also run well but he is prone to breaking blood vessels. Divet Hill has also been in good form of late but he to may be in the handicappers grip.
