Karrnak gets the vote here with Lysander's Quest and Tharua rating the main dangers. The selection is dropping in grade looks on a handy mark and from a good draw he looks the one to be on. Lysander's Quest rates the main danger on his latest second behind Tipes. The booking of Eddie Ahern catches the eye and from a good draw he will not be far away. Tharua is another worthy of respect on his latest effort which saw him finish second but this looks more competitive and he will need to improve again to score. Mister Completely won well last time out but he may struggle to give weight and a beating to some less exposed types and for the winner we return to the well treated Karrnak.
