Verdict
Bajan Parkes didn't have the best of luck in running last time out and with Phillip Robinson on board today he can gain an overdue success, Krugerrand and Drawback could be the main dangers. Having been held up at the rear by the seven pound claimer, he was blocked twice in his run. With the talented Mr Robinson on board we hope for a better passage late on and the combination can snatch victory on the line. Another hold up horse is Kruggerand and so we could se quite a spectacle in the latter stages. Willie Musson's charge ran much better than the finishing position suggests last time out at Windsor and he is now down to a very tempting mark. Drawback hit winning form last time out when also held up for a late charge when beating Moon Valley at Brighton. If the same tactics are used today it could be one terrific finish and fingers crossed, Bajan Parkes can get a clear run and take the honours.
