In depth
Verdict
Thumper, It's Definite and St Matthew are three against the field in another tough race to call and the vote goes to It's Definite. The selection won well last time out when defeating Odagh Odyssey and although this is more competitive he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Thumper rates the main danger he won well a couple of runs ago but then was slightly disappointing when third behind Ela Jay last time. However if he ordains to put his best foot forward he would be a danger to all. St Mathew is another that could go well he was a fair second behind Bushido last time but gave the impression he would be seen to better effect over a longer trip and for that reason he is over looked on this occasion. Tango Royal will like the fast ground but he looks to have plenty of weight. Of the remainder Marrel is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to It's Definite.
