    Verdict

    ABIDJAN is impossible to oppose in this with only three rivals. He made all to land the odds over course and distance 11 days ago against better novices and could run up a sequence before the ground turns soft. It's likely that both Linguine and Imperial Glance are going to need more time and Hija continues to disappoint.
