Verdict
This won't take much winning and Football Crazy looks to have been found an easy opening. Neville Callaghan's gelding has struggled, albeit in the face of some stiff tasks, since rattling off a four timer last summer, but probably turned in his best effort when beaten three-lengths by Chorist off a mark of 92. He has plenty in hand of his rivals here and should make no mistake. Analyze loves to hear his feet rattle and even though he has conditions to suit, he has plenty to find with the selection on these terms. Recent course and distance winner Wodhill Folly cannot be fancied to follow up on these terms, while Olivia Rose also has plenty to find. So Football Crazy is taken to outclass his rivals on these favourable terms.
