In depth
Verdict
Warsaw Pact gets the confident vote here with Swayze and Spring Dream rating the main dangers. The selection showed improved form to win last time out when beating Bollin Derek at his first try over this trip. He looks a typically progressive type from the stable and with more improvement to come he will be very hard to beat. Swayze rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Apt To Run. However he has yet to prove he stays this far and at the likely odds he looks worth taking on. Spring Dream is another that could go well but he was all out when beating Squirtle last time out and his penalty may find him out. Of the remainder, Marmota is from a yard that is beginning to hit form and he could go well at a price but Warsaw Pact looks ahead of the handicapper and will be hard to beat
