In depth
Verdict
Nesnaas gets the vote here with Shingle Street and Gold Guest rating the main dangers. The selection has been in fair form of late without winning but a reproduction of his latest second behind Flamand sets a fair standard and off the same mark her he looks the one to be on. Shingle Street rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Madiba but he gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip on that occasion and is passed over with this in mind. Gold Guest is another that could go well on his best form but he dissapointed for no apparent reason last time out and is passed over with this in mind. Of the remainder Avesomeofthat and Looks The Business are game and consistent and are sure to run there races but for the winner we return to Nesnaas.
