Verdict

This looks a good chance for NIGHT IN VEGAS to land a third valuable pot in a row. Zigazig Ah chased him home in a similar race on the July Course here at the end of the summer and can give him most to think about again. Woodhay Wayfarer has a steadily progressive profile and may prove best of the remainder.
