Verdict

Tobago Reef gets the tentative vote ahead of Marmooq and Bert's Memory. A weak seller which may not take much winning, and Tobago Reef, who has been running in better races than this of late and is sure to have come on for his recent outing at the track. Both of his wins have come over the course and distance and from a fair draw he should go well. Golden Surprise is an interesting contender coming across from Italy for this poor race and needs a check in the betting, whilst Rafferty can be hit and miss but ran well in defeat last time at Lingfield and needs respect. Calloff The Search is consistent in this grade but ultimately yet to win in twenty starts. Marmooq knows how to win and has claims, so whilst Trinculo could run well now dropped in grade, we will take him on over this trip and side with Tobago Reef to small stakes.
