In depth
Verdict
Plenty with claims at the weights in something of a lottery but MAAZEL finished ahead of Mehdi, Al Khan and Smokethatthunders when fourth in a claimer here last month and gets a token vote on that form. Beauden Barrett has a chance on his latest placed effort over a mile here but Major Crispies has yet to score over today’s distance in 20 attempts and stablemate The Amber Fort has only won a maiden so far. Kingofmerrows drops in class and may figure along with the three-year-old Raven's Raft.
