Verdict
Jonjo O’Neill Jr teams up with MEGALODON, who just edged Twycross Warrior here two runs ago. The runner-up is now 2lb better off so rates a danger but Paul Henderson’s charge was taking on better opposition here subsequently and may confirm the form. Detatched had Hurricane Hero behind when runner-up to the prolific Main Fact here in January and has been threatening to win a race like this. Playa Blanca is not out of this and Miss Gemstone is another to consider but Collodi is only a plater.
