Verdict
Four of these won their latest starts with Critical Thinking beating Lucky Lodge over track and trip recently. The latter had also fallen victim to Chookie Dunedin here back in October and Keith Dalgleish’s charge has subsequently landed a double over 6f at the track while Inaam has been raised 7lb after scoring over course and distance back in November. But REAL ESTATE is only 2lb higher than when landing a hat-trick with last month’s success at Lingfield and Michael Attwater’s charge is taken to continue winning ways in his current form. Siege Of Boston returned to action with a good effort here on his debut for new connections and is another to consider.
