In depth
Verdict
Dik Dik, Tip Toes and Zaffeu will pose as the fancied contenders here with the vote going to the last named. The selection finished second last time out over two furlongs shorter here and has shown in the past that stamina is what plays into his hands. Although he is yet to win over this trip he has proven form in staying races. If reproducing his best he has to be on the short list. Dik Dik is another to note in this seller as although his form is moderate this is a drop in grade. Having his first run in selling company he is surely one to note in the betting market. Tip Toes is another thats has form against better company than this when finishing fourth of thirteen over a similar trip here last time so is another to keep an eye on. But for the winner the tentative vote goes to Zaffeu.
