In depth
Verdict
Sun Hill, Phantom Stock, and Macaroni Gold are three against the field in another tough race to call and the nomination goes to Sun Hill. The selection won well over course and distance last time when defeating Madiba and although he has risen in the weights he could still be ahead of the handicapper and is taken to win again. Phantom Stock rates the main danger as he did not have the run of the race last time and still won when defeating Sashay, however this looks much more competitive. Macaroni Gold is another that could go well but he was behind Phantom Stock last time and although he is better off at the weights again their will not be much between them. Of there remainder Glory Quest could also go well but has never won over this trip so for the winner we return to Sun Hill.
