Verdict

NAVAL OFFICER (4) has been pretty consistent all campaign but failed to nail that victory. He does rarely run a poor one at this track and the mile is clearly the right distance for him. Handles any surface and just needs some luck early to be a factor. TALAKAI (1) drops way back in company to a BM58 after a top effort. All her form prior was right up to winning this type of event. FERRARI MAN (3) led and kept running at Orange. He always puts himself on the speed and from there runs honestly. This barrier could be a concern. PICKAXE (8) puts in for her followers most times. Might prefer some give in the surface. TAKE THE CHANCE (9) will be another heading forward early. No question of her fitness for this.
